Hypothetical interest - what is it?

Hypothetical interest is a special tax relief for CIT taxpayers. It applies only to those taxpayers who have allocated the company's profit to reserve or supplementary capital or contributed to the company. This relief is based on the calculation of hypothetical interest that burden tax costs and reduce the tax. Hypothetical interest is a kind of incentive for companies to increase their equity capital. As a consequence, they are to lead to limiting the share of foreign capital in the structure of the company's financing sources.
