The Government extended the deadline for joining the tax and pension moratorium until December 15, through the Decree 966 / 2020 published today (01.12.2020) in the Official Gazette.
The payment facility plan designed to cushion the impact of the pandemic that expired yesterday was thus extended for two weeks..
The Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP) stressed in a statement that "the extension of the deadlines seeks to facilitate adherence to the regime."
He specified that AFIP will issue the necessary complementary regulations to implement the provisions of the decree.
"Through the law extending the moratorium, the Government set out to cushion the damage, sustain jobs and undertake the recovery process after the crisis that the previous government led to and that was deepened by the pandemic," said the organization led by Mercedes Marcó del Pont.
He indicated that "this second extension of the adhesion period aims to guarantee that all taxpayers can carry out the different procedures and steps that enable them to join the debt regularization regime."
He pointed out that "The 2020 Moratorium is part of the different instruments designed by the Government to offer relief to families, businesses, professionals, SMEs, large companies, self-employed workers and non-profit entities.«.
The AFIP pointed out that "the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic added to the economic difficulties that the economy was experiencing and altered the situation of the entire productive framework." It indicated that "in this scenario, Congress approved a law that expands the scope of the moratorium established at the end of 2019 by the Law of Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation to include those taxpayers, individuals and legal entities, who had not originally been contemplated."
