The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador has approved the Special and Temporary Law that grants facilities for voluntary compliance with tax, customs, and other penalties. This will allow tax debtors to pay their debts over a period of up to nine months, without additional charges, fines, or interest.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Commonly known as “tax amnesty,” this temporary decree, if enacted, will apply to tax debts, customs duties, and traffic violations, whether they are under audit, in the Unit of Audits and Appraisals (UAT), the Tax and Customs Appeals Court (TAIIA), judicial headquarters, or even before the Attorney General\u2019s Office. The period for taxpayers to start settling their debts will be 90 days from the publication of the decree in the Official Gazette.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Payments can be made through various methods, including legal tender, checks made out to the General Treasury Directorate (DGT), public treasury credit notes, and credit or debit cards accepted by the DGT.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
