Under the decree, there are requirements to register with the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) for specialized services or works as well as rules for recognizing the labor rights and seniority of workers. In addition, employers are to provide information regarding specialized services every four months (but no later than the 17th day of January, May, and September) for the purposes of the social security law.
For income tax and value added tax (VAT) purposes, the requirement regarding information for the deductibility of expenses for tax credit purposes will be effective as of 1 September 2021.
