The new solidarity tax, which is likely to apply from January 1, will apply to the difference between this year’s profit and next year’s and the 2018-2021 average profit for all companies in the oil, gas and refining sectors, if the 2022 and 2023 profits exceed the 2018- 202 years for 20%, writes Economica.net.

Companies will pay next year a solidarity contribution of 60% of the difference between this year’s profit and the average profit of 2018-2021, increased by 20%. After reading the draft the following year, we realized that the 60% was applied to the difference between 2023 earnings and the 2-18-2021 average, plus 20%.
