Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

File municipal sales tax in SURI

Starting July 1, 2024, a municipality can choose to use the SURI system to file the monthly municipal sales tax and collect it. The Department of Hacienda sends all collections to the accounts the municipality names. Executive Branch agencies cannot use or keep this money. Businesses file and pay in SURI when their municipality signs the agreement.

4% tax on merchant and professional services

Starting October 1, 2015, services sold to other merchants and listed professional services do not pay the 1% municipal tax. They are taxed at 4% under the Code instead. The tax equals 4% of the sale price for those services.

Stronger municipal tax enforcement and appeals

Starting July 1, 2024, new rules apply under a municipal–Hacienda agreement. Hacienda can collect municipal sales tax debts that arise after the agreement, if both sides agree. Those debts can appear on Hacienda’s debt certification. Hacienda cannot give payment plans or settlements for these taxes without the municipality’s consent. Municipalities get access to local business data, and Hacienda tells them when audits change taxable sales. A single, uniform process lets taxpayers object to wrong charges. If the agreement is silent on an issue, Law 107-2020 controls.

Uniform 1% municipal sales tax

The law sets a uniform 1% municipal sales and use tax. It applies to taxable sales and use under Subtitle D rules. Starting February 1, 2014, you pay 1% of the taxable price at checkout. The same base and exemptions as the general sales tax apply, unless this section says otherwise.

Who collects the 1% municipal tax

Starting July 1, 2014, the 1% municipal tax is collected by each municipality or by a named fiduciary. On a date set by the municipal financing corporation (COFIM), a fiduciary approved by the government bank acts as agent to receive these payments. Businesses must make the municipal tax payment in the fiduciary’s name once designated. The fiduciary deposits the money into its account for the municipalities.
