Law No. 1 of 2025 (enacted January 23, 2025) repealed the statute of limitations on tax audits and collections, allowing tax authorities to claim unpaid taxes indefinitely.

Previously, a 15-year limitation under article 25 of Law No. 7 of 2010, as modified by Law No. 2 of 2017, restricted enforceability. The amendment removes time constraints, enabling indefinite pursuit of unpaid tax obligations.
