AFIP returns the money to its taxpayers: who and why will receive the payment

The Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) has already reported will return more than $ 1,345 million to monotributists and the self-employed who paid their obligations in 2021 in a timely manner using automatic debit or credit card.

The compliance benefit, as detailed by the agency, reached over 649,000 small taxpayers from across the country: 557,000 monotributistas and 92,000 self-employed.

What was returned was a part of the tax portion paid throughout the year. It reaches all monotributists and self-employed who have paid their monthly dues in a timely manner.

The number of small taxpayers who will receive a refund this year is 62% higher than in 2021, they indicated from AFIP. The increase in the recipient amount of this refund corresponds to greater taxpayer compliance.

Beneficiaries will receive an amount equal to the monthly combined tax. Payment will be automatically credited to the bank accounts or credit cards attached as a form of payment for each subsequent taxpayer.

“Taxpayers who started activity last year and therefore do not pay 12 full months will have a 50% refund, provided that the number of installments paid on time is between 6 and 11, both included, “they explain from AFIP this is a statement.

The amount credited can be consulted on the AFIP website with the tax code.

According to accountants, this return should be made in March. “The issue is that, in accordance with the provisions of General Resolution 4309, AFIP must make returns by March 2022,” said tax expert Sebastián Domínguez, CEO of SDC Tax Advisors.

Article 43 of the resolution states: “The payment referred to in article 31 of decree 1/2010 and its amendment, shall be made in the month of March of each calendar year and shall be issued only to those who have paid by: a) Direct debit from a bank account: b) Automatic debit by using a credit card ”.

“In practice, with monthly inflation of 6%, returns will be reduced by 12.36% due to the impact of two -month inflation. Just as AFIP requires interest when a taxpayer is late paying, it should automatically recognize interest in favor of taxpayers, ”Domínguez added.

“The solution is to change the rule and establish that interest is accrued in favor of taxpayers when AFIP does not comply with the refund. in the month of March, “he said.
