A measure that helps
This week the Ministry of Tourism announced a 50% discount for tourist rentals during the carnival season for families with incomes that do not exceed $50,000 with the aim of maintaining the activity that tends to fall at that point in the season. The benefit consists of providing 50% of discount in the tourist rentals that have a certain annual billing limit, so not all rentals will have this discount since it will be provided to accommodations of lower category.
However, until now there is no list of what the rentals enabled so it is complex to know which are the enabled premises. “All the measures taken by the Uruguayan government They are positive and alleviate the cost of taxes so that people can come to the country,” established Sena.
