In recent days, criticism has begun to rain against the SIAT platform of the National Tax Service (SIN) because the system was saturated and many taxpayers queue up at the entity’s offices to use its servers.
According to the portal www.boliviaimpuestos.com, the SIAT Taxpayers Application sets aside the Easy Form 605 V5 for sending digital financial statements. On the other hand, it obliges taxpayers with incomes greater than 1.2 million bolivianos to also send the annexes in the same application.
On the SIN’s social networks, criticism points to difficulties in entering the system, its slowness and its saturation. “From bad to worse, a disgrace for the SIAT, that the Facility returns no more,” complained a taxpayer.
Another indicates that it hangs every moment and cannot complete the information. “It’s 10:30 at night and the SIAT is still saturated, it really is rubbish what they want to impose on us, everything to fine at all costs,” complained another taxpayer.

“It’s 23:50 and I had to load a lot of times and update to register each one in sales for a month that does not allow me in mass registration, it rejects me … that SIAT is a KK,” protested another.
On January 8, another taxpayer said: “It is 5:40 p.m. very slow, he does not want to enter, I have been trying since morning. It is irresponsible. It seems that your computer scientists do not have quality control of the programs they develop and put into production. In a private entity they would already be fired ”, he lamented.
Many taxpayers, who must send information, not being able to do so from their computers, chose to go to the SIN offices to upload the information from the entity’s servers.
Yesterday, for example, at the National Tax offices in Los Pinos there were lines from early hours.

Some people counted around noon that they had been there since 8:45 and had between eight and ten more people in front of them to enter the SIN offices.
A taxpayer told Page seven that the SIN should solve the platform’s problems because it forces many in the midst of the wave of Covid-19 infections to go to the offices and form lines.
On the doors of the SIN offices as well as on the website, the entity posted a statement stating that the Regulatory Resolution of the Board of Directors (RND) No. 102200000002 was issued, which extends the expiration period for registration and registration until Tuesday, January 25. / or confirmation of Tax Documents in the VAT Sales and Purchases Register corresponding to the operations carried out in the fiscal period December 2021.
It also communicated that the deadline for modifying the information reported for the fiscal period December 2021 in the Purchase and Sales Registry is extended to Monday, January 31.

The lawyer Roberto Carlo Gil, from the Gómez y Asociados Law Firm, indicated that the problems arise due to the low information processing capacity of the SIN platforms. He clarified that the inconvenience is not caused by the bandwidth, but by the capacity of the computer servers.
He explained that the Sales and Purchases Register that replaced the sales and purchases book is flawed because it has two steps to follow. First the information is loaded and second it must be validated and if this is not consolidated there are fines.
“That requires double work for the system, before you delivered the information, the encrypted file was generated and it could be used to re-report invoices at the end of the year in the book buy sales. But now this is monthly and the information processing capacity is recharged because it is for taxpayers of the general regime ”, he specified.
By doubling the steps and the number of contributors, the system slows down.
The specialist said that through the SIAT all tax information is generated and where to send certification requests, affidavits, make payments, payment plans and facilities, comply with all formal and material obligations, bill dosing, among others. (MB)
