DESCRIPTION:
Within the tax legislation, tax benefits are established whose application constitutes an obligation for the Tax Administration and a right for taxpayers. We quote the most important so that they are known to all citizens.
The bonuses corresponding to the Prompt Payment Benefit are maintained, arranged for those who contribute the tax at the beginning of the period established by Law No. 113, which are:
- Discount of 5% of the amount to be paid that results from the calculation of the Sworn Declaration of the Personal Income Tax, for those who pay before February 28.
- Discount of twenty percent (20%) of the amount to be paid by the Land Transportation Tax (sheet payment), for owners or owners of motor vehicles or animal traction that also pay before February 28 .
- Discount of ten percent (10%) of the amount to be settled as the Rate for the Filing of Ads and Commercial Propaganda, for taxpayers who place ads and provide the annual total of this tax in advance, within the first month of the year in which the obligation to pay taxes has been set for them.
- People who start working on their own account are exempt from the payment of tax obligations, except the Social Security Contribution, in the first three (3) months of operations. While those who rejoin will enjoy said benefit, provided that thirty-six (36) months have elapsed since the ONAT was terminated.
- The benefit begins counting from the month following that in which the taxpayer was registered and is applied to the person; therefore, if the person enrolls in various activities, does not begin to pay for the income that they generate, until after the 3 months of exemption established in the Law have elapsed, for example, if a person enrolls for the first time as Self-employed worker in January, in the activity of lessor, February, March and April are his benefit months, and he pays in June for the income obtained in May. If in February you register as a cafeteria and in March as an artisan, you also do not contribute for what these trades generate in those months, since those income were obtained within the exemption period. So, in this case, the first payment for all activities is effective on the same date: June.
New graduates who are not located and decide to join any of the self-employment activities are exempt from paying taxes during the first year in which they graduate; as well as those coming from the arts schools, in any manifestation, once they begin to exercise their specialty.
