Non-final levies are levies that were collected as advances or as a deduction at source during the tax year and their collection is not yet final. After the end of the tax year, depending on the amount of the levy that will be calculated in the annual report that will be submitted, the said levy, in whole or in part, will become final. Final levies are levies that were collected based on annual reports submitted by the owners of oil and natural resource rights, as well as levies that were collected following a final assessment.
