In case there are grounds prescribed by law, a compulsory enforcement officer has the right to levy execution upon the salary of a debtor and the fees equalled thereto, the funded and voluntary funded pensions of the debtor, the scholarship of the debtor and remunerations received through the use of objects of intellectual property, as well as the state pensions of the debtor, but upon a certain percentage of them, not the whole amount. In particular:
– up to 75% may be deducted from the salary and fees equalled thereto, funded pensions and voluntary funded pensions, a scholarship and remunerations received through the use of objects of intellectual property, if they are levied in execution with the view to paying alimony or compensating for damage caused to health, damage caused by loss of breadwinner or damage caused by crime;
– up to 50% may be deducted from incomes specified for the purpose of meeting other requirements;
– up to 30% may be deducted from the state pensions of a debtor.
When imposing an attachment on the bank accounts of a debtor, the compulsory enforcement officer does not have information on whether the debtor receives salary or other incomes on those accounts or not. Thus, if attachment has been imposed on the salary or other incomes of a citizen in full, in order to fully or partially eliminate the attachment imposed thereon, it is necessary to submit to the compulsory enforcement officer a statement of information from the workplace (or other income payer) stating also the amount of salary (income), the bank through which the salary (income) is received and the account number (account number of employer or other income payer) from which the salary or other income is transferred.
