The NTCA is required by law to send out tax account statements and surcharge statements every year. The purpose of sending these statements is multi-faceted. In this way, the NTCA provides information on the items entered in the tax accounts in the given period and on the amount of the penalty for late payments or non-payment.

The information also provides an opportunity for reconciliation. If someone receives a statement and finds a discrepancy between their own and the office's records, and considers their own records to be correct, they can make the necessary corrections.

Section 22 (1) and (2) of Government Decree 465/2017 (XII.28.) on the detailed rules of tax administration procedure regulates the sending of tax account statements and late payment surcharge statements.
