Below is information on the selection criteria for the variants in the modification of the declaration. The modifications can be:
- Self-assessment rectification: in case the modifications mean less income or a greater return.
- Supplementary statement: in case the modifications entail a higher income or a lower return.

The rectification of the self-assessment may be carried out:
- As long as the Tax Agency has not made the related final or provisional payment.
