The Undersecretariat of State for Taxation (SET) issued a resolution stating that failure to confirm the receipt for the tax receipt register for the 2022 fiscal year will not constitute a tax violation.

Accountants and taxpayers complained about repeated glitches in the Marnagatú system when filing their tax returns, prompting the Undersecretariat of State for Taxation (SET) to take a series of measures.

Accordingly, new flexibilities have been established regarding the receipt registry, and it is reiterated that taxpayers experiencing difficulties filing their returns through the Marnagatú system may request exemption from penalties by submitting screenshots of the errors.

The new regulation issued by the Taxation Office is General Resolution No. 124/2023, which sets forth the administrative measures related to the confirmation of receipt of the receipt registry, as established in General Resolution No. 90/2021, with the aim of facilitating tax compliance.

The resolution establishes that, through June 30, 2023, the failure to confirm the receipt submission form for the fiscal year 2022 by taxpayers required to register their receipts annually will not constitute a tax violation, the agency reported.

Furthermore, it clarifies that the measure does not affect taxpayers required to register their receipts on a monthly basis.

The resolution also establishes that, through July 31, 2023, penalties for violations will not apply to taxpayers who belatedly register and confirm the submission slip in the Marangatú System, whether they are required to register monthly and/or annually.

Marangatú is the name of the system provided by the SET for taxpayers to file their tax returns electronically. Apparently, the implementation of electronic invoices is overloading its capacity.
