Although it has recorded a slight decrease compared to the previous month, the costs to cover a family’s essential expenses remain at significant levels. Calculations of the minimum union basket show that in June 2026, a family needed 68,654 denars to cover basic living needs. If compared to May, when this value reached 68,742 denars, there is a contraction of only 88 denars.

The most significant item in a family’s budget during this period is again expenses for food and beverages. For this group, 25,120 denars are needed, representing 36.6 percent of total expenses.

Next are expenses for education at 7,192 denars, clothing and footwear at 6,511 denars, and the item for rent, water, electricity, and heating, which amounts to 6,379 denars.

For families living in a 60-square-meter rented apartment, the minimum union basket is significantly higher, reaching 84,024 denars per month.

During this process, 863,100 annual tax returns were generated. Of these, 704,443 are accessible through user profiles on the e-Tax Services platform, while the remainder belong to individuals who have not yet opened a user profile on this portal and therefore cannot review their return, verify the data, or download the payment order.

The Public Revenue Office is calling on all natural persons who do not yet have an account on e-Tax Services to register as soon as possible at https://e-ujp.ujp.gov.mk.

“Verifying your return is both a right and a responsibility that belongs to you — only through the system can you find out whether you need to pay an additional amount or are entitled to a tax refund,” emphasizes the Public Revenue Office (DAP).

Out of the 704,443 available returns, 26,653 were personally confirmed by the taxpayers themselves, and another 1,145 were corrected by them — corrections that are now being processed by DAP officials. The remaining returns, 676,645 in number, were officially confirmed by the institution.

According to DAP, these figures show that a large portion of citizens did not review and confirm their own tax returns. Although the law provides for the possibility of official confirmation, this means that the taxpayer has not checked the data and has not made an informed decision based on it. Income data is generated by DAP based on payers’ reports, and if some income has not been recorded or has been recorded incorrectly, the citizen can only notice this by reviewing the return. An unchecked and automatically confirmed return risks causing late discovery of errors, incorrect amounts, and additional liabilities, explains the Office.

Statistics show that in 313,519 cases, citizens paid more tax than they owed, while 208,857 individuals have an obligation for additional payment. Around 182,000 returns indicate that the tax was calculated and collected accurately during the year, with no need for additional payments or refunds. Among taxpayers who overpaid, 617 have requested a refund of the overpaid tax, for a total amount of 32,397,022 denars.
