Take Advantage Of The Special Fractionation Of Tax Debts

Legislative Decree No. 1634, published on August 30, 2024, arises in an economic context where many companies and taxpayers are facing financial difficulties. The COVID-19 pandemic and other economic factors have negatively impacted the payment capacity of various entities and individuals. In this regard, the Peruvian government has sought to implement measures that facilitate compliance with tax obligations, while ensuring the collection of revenues necessary for the functioning of the State.

The main objective of Legislative Decree No. 1634 is to allow taxpayers who have tax debts to regularize their situation in a more accessible way. By offering a special installment plan, it is expected that more taxpayers will take advantage of this mechanism, which in turn will increase the income of the public treasury. By offering significant discounts on interest and penalties, taxpayers are encouraged to settle their debts.

Special installment payment represents a unique opportunity for taxpayers to regularize their tax situation without facing the burden of excessive interest and fines. This is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses that have been severely affected by the economic crisis.

Taxpayers should consider this installment payment as part of their financial planning. It is advisable to evaluate the ability to pay and consider the option of taking advantage of this benefit to avoid future liquidity problems.

Given the complexity of tax regulations, it is advisable for taxpayers to seek professional advice to ensure that they comply with all requirements and maximize the benefits of special installment payment.
