For instance, for fiscal obligations older than 60 days, a taxpayer would owe almost 50% more than the initial debt.
The new penalty will be reduced to half if it is paid by the 5th or 20th of next month, depending on when the fiscal control authorities issue the payment order.
Current legislation sets the penalties for overdue payment of fiscal obligations to 5% for delays of less than 60 days, and 15% for delays longer than 60 days. The tax authority also charges 0.04% extra interest on the principal per day.
Through the same draft ordinance, the authorities will allow the suspension of foreclosure proceedings in the event of appeals against fiscal administrative acts establishing debts to the budget, if the taxpayer files a letter of guarantee for the value of the contested debt.
