The document outlines specific percentage reductions in the contribution amount based on the credit growth indicator relative to domestic GDP growth rates. Additionally, it establishes compliance requirements for the declaration and payment of contributions, emphasizing the need for adherence to the defined calculation methods and timelines. The document stipulates that the State Revenue Service will oversee compliance, including the assessment of contributions and any necessary adjustments. It also addresses procedural aspects, such as the timeline for payments following any adjustments made by the State Revenue Service, and emphasizes the importance of stakeholder involvement in the process of contribution calculation and payment.
