Colombia News.
Next June 17, two days before the second round presidential elections, will be the second Day without VAT this 2022, which will apply to face-to-face purchases in commercial or virtual establishments, and from the commerce sector it has been proposed that payment be advanced of premiums.
That July 17, products can be purchased without having to pay the 19% Value Added Tax (VAT).
Although, it will be two days after the fortnight, they propose that the premium be paid so that people can make their investments, also because part of the workers are also paid salaries at the end of the month.
Sincerely, Fenalco
The National Federation of Traders of Colombia (Fenalco), asked the government to advance the payment of that mid-year bonus, but that too, a citizen security issue.
This, because it means extra money moving on the streets.
With a letter signed by the president of Fenalco, Jaime Alberto Cabal, the request was made.
“Taking into account the good results of last year, we ask that the payment of the mid-year premium be advanced a few days, not only to try to mitigate the impact of the inflationary escalation that the country’s economy is experiencing, but also so that more Colombians can access the benefits of the Day without VAT and eventually advance the purchases of Father’s Day, which was moved to the 26th”, they indicated.
However, this may be a voluntary option, according to the president of the organization, who invites the business sector to join his proposal.
