Sunat indicated that there are more than 316,000 people who still do not meet the requirements for the balance to be deposited in their favor. Here we tell you everything about ex officio tax refund.
Workers will be able to check on the Sunat electronic portal if they have a favorable balance on the Income Tax (IR) withheld. This year, around 500,000 people will have a balance in favor, according to the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat). Find out in this note if you are part of the beneficiaries.
The main requirement is to support expenses with electronic bills for consumption in restaurants, bars, hotels, professional and technical service contracts, or comply with making contributions by domestic workers.
The maximum limit for deductible expenses is 3 tax units (UIT), which is currently equivalent to S/ 13,800. The total deduction of this amount only applies if the annual income obtained by the worker exceeds 7 UIT.
For this year, the maximum amount of return of the income tax from work (4th and 5th category) will be S/ 4,140. This sum would only be in the event that personal expenses are sustained up to S/ 13,800 and there is a minimum annual income of S/ 253,000.
When will the tax refund be made?
Sunat will initiate the ex officio return, with a balance in favor of the 2021 IR, the next business day after the expiration period of the 2021 Annual Income Tax Declaration.
In other words, as of Monday, April 11, the return will be made for workers on the payroll who made deductible expenses for consumption in bars, restaurants, hotels, among other activities.
