Within the framework of the measures aimed at easing the fiscal situation of taxpayers promoted by the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto, the General Directorate of Revenue reported that the “Ahora 6” moratorium closed with very good results.
This Special and Transitional Regime for the Cancellation of Tax Obligations called “Ahora 6” was intended for the regularization of debts regarding: Commercial municipal tax, General Real Estate municipal tax, Cemetery, Contribution for Improvements, Bus Terminal, Registration Fees, Construction Rights, Popular Flea Market (Rent), Supply, Advertising and Propaganda, and Sanctions imposed by the Misdemeanors Court, including their fines and accessories.
As indicated by the General Directorate of Revenue, said regime covered all debts due as of May 31, 2023, regardless of whether they are under formal notice, in the process of determination, in extrajudicial management, in an administrative tax procedure, or administrative litigation, subject to tax foreclosure proceedings, or verified in preventive bankruptcy and bankruptcy.
In this sense, the Secretary of Government and Treasury, Aldo Álvarez, pointed out that “by decision of mayor Enrique Cresto, the municipality implemented a broad Tax Moratorium that took into account the macroeconomy and the inflationary context, and which in turn supported the taxpayer in their willingness to get up to date with municipal taxes. This measure was in effect from June 1 to August 31, 2023, inclusive,” he highlighted.
