The perceptions regime is a system that was created in order to raise funds for the payment of the IGV, which is applied to the “sale price” in the process of a sale, through the perceptions agents.
What is the perception regime?
It is a system that was created in order to raise funds for the payment of the general sales tax (IGV), through the so-called “perception agents” in the process of a sale.
That is, in the process of a sale, the provider will charge an additional percentage of the sale price to its client, of course, based on previous requirements, since not any company can make such additional charges. In this sense, only companies that are named or assigned as collection agents may carry out these operations.
What is a perception agent?
Collection agents are companies (regularly large companies) that were designated (as they could also be excluded), by means of a supreme decree endorsed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance with a technical opinion from SUNAT, who in turn are on the register of perception agents.
Therefore, these companies have a “perception agent certificate” issued by SUNAT. Therefore, they have the authorization to charge an additional amount of the sale price to their customers and, of course, they will have to issue a receipt for the additional amount collected, in addition to the sales receipt.
Likewise, users (customers) may not oppose the corresponding additional payment.
