Companies with an annual income above but not exceeding 8,000 Euro have to pay 46 Euros, while those with an annual income in excess of 8,000 Euros have to pay 64 Euros.

Companies registered in the Companies Register have to pay 128 Euros if their annual income does not exceed 24,500 Euros, while those companies exceeding 24,500 Euros have to pay 307 Euros. Very, very large companies have to pay a basic contribution of 10,000 Euro.

The assessment-based contribution which varies according to the company's income lies at 0.30 percent of the annual proceeds.
