The corporate tax rate is 25%.

For entities in which the State owns more than 40% of the shares the corporate income tax rate will be 30% (25% if it is a telecommunications company).

Companies with USD 1.5M or more income are also subject to an alternative minimum tax which amounts to 4.67% of gross taxable income.
