As a result of the investigation, the AFIP re-estimated the profits declared by the audited companies in more than 40 million pesos, which yielded tax adjustments for more than 13 million pesos.
The three audited taxpayers recognized the irregularity and paid the sum. The agency’s staff analyzed the export dispatches presented to carry out the shipments abroad, with the documents of the refrigeration activity, until the purchase or primary liquidation of the corresponding treasury.
The inspection and control tasks allowed the correct traceability of the merchandise sent abroad and the establishment of an average profit margin applied to the purchase value.
Based on the results obtained, the AFIP also analyzes the Tax Credit return requests submitted by these taxpayers in order to avoid abuses and benefits obtained irregularly.
Through these actions, the agency seeks to strengthen the fight against evasion of the meat industry and reduce informality in the sector dedicated to the production and marketing of beef.
In this sense, the AFIP recently regulated the benefit for consumers who use a debit card in butcher shops. This is a 10% refund with a return cap of $2,000 per month. The initiative will help fight unfair competition and avoid evasive maneuvers that promote marginalization and market distortion.
