Statute of Limitations for Tax Liabilities: When Does Responsibility Actually End?

Many business owners assume that tax liabilities simply expire after a few years. In reality, the statute of limitations depends on several factors and is not automatic.

Limitation periods depend on:

  • the type of tax obligation,

  • statutory deadlines,

  • potential procedural interruptions,

  • initiated audits or enforcement actions.

Any official action taken by the tax authority may interrupt or extend the limitation period.

FURS may, in certain cases, reassess obligations several years retrospectively.

➡️ Important: Limitation rules differ depending on the case and are not universally automatic.
