The The Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP) owes small taxpayers and the general public about US$147 million in income tax payments that collected together with the PAIS Tax. In national currency, are $139.6 billion.
The data comes from the Answers given by Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos to the deputies in the report he made on September 3.
Unless there is a resolution from the AFIP, the PAIS Tax will automatically expire on December 31st. The so-called dollar card and the savings dollar will cease to exist and the important debt will remain of the collecting agency with the smallest taxpayers.
Savings dollar: how the perception returned by AFIP is calculated
It should be noted that the “savings dollar” and the “card dollar” are made up of the application of a 30% rate of the PAIS Tax and a perception on account of Income Tax of equal magnitude.
Like the General Resolution 4815 of the AFIP says thatand the perception of Profits is applied to the sale of dollars for hoarding or to pay credit cards that pay the PAIS Tax, when this disappears, there will be no operations for which it must be collected in advance.
It remains to be resolved It is what will happen with the money that the AFIP has been collecting from people who do not pay income tax. In that universe there is self-employed and ordinary peoplewho could spend up to $200 a month on things like streaming services, or consumers of that money. This group cannot use that money to pay other taxes and therefore has to ask for it back.
According to the answers that Guillermo Francos gave to Congress in Report 140, which consists of more than 1,300 questions from the deputies, the AFIP has to return to the smallest taxpayers and the general public a total of $139.653 million. Of these, 70% have a delay of between six months and one year..
According to Francos, this is about 5,513,191 complaints. Of these, 1.4 million are 12 months old and 2.3 million are a year or more old.
The delay of the AFIP
As for the delay period for the effective return, which has to be done by athe transfer from the AFIP to a CBU declared by the person, 1.3 million claims have been pending for less than six months ($45.889 billion); equal or greater at six months 2.4 million ($80,829 million) and equal to or greater than one year, 619,961 ($11,535 million).
Already with There are 119,986 cases of delays of more than two yearsfor a total of $1,167.4 million, while There are 28,521 claims that have been pending for 3 years, for a total of $231 million.
The causes of delays nor have been properly explained by Francos in his response, even though the question asked included the reasons.
It is worth remembering that in a cIn the context of high inflation, AFIP does not update credits in favor of taxpayers or the public and that is why in the long run there is a tendency to liquefy this debt.
What can the Government do in response to the disappearance of the PAIS Tax?
In order to maintain the 30% perception of profit accounts, the general opinion of specialists is that the AFIP should issue a new resolution, Applicable to all dollar purchase operations for hoarding or for payment of consumption abroad.
The original measure, obviously, It was not intended to raise funds but to discourage the purchase of dollars. whether for saving or for making payments. If the government wanted to maintain the price of that type of dollars, it would have to apply a 60% tax on profits.
