The Professional Box requested this Friday in Parliament that a Accountability article that, according to the vision of the organism, would cause annual losses of more than US$13 million.
A delegation from the Caja attended the Budget Committee integrated with the Treasury of Deputies this Friday to exchange positions on the project that came to Parliament on June 30.
At the meeting, he proposed the repeal of the article 447 of the project that stipulates that Article 109 of Law 18,083 of 2006 be annulled. There, compensation was foreseen charged to General Revenues to organizations affected by repealed taxes. The box requests its elimination because it assures that it would take away genuine income that was granted by law.
If that chapter were maintained, it would determine the loss of a resource, beyond the fact that there might be the will to replace it in practice with an item in charge of General Revenue, explained the delegation.

It also reported that the annual amount of the compensation provided by article 109 amounts to $557.8 million (US$13.2 million) for the year 2022. In addition, according to projections for 2023, it would mean an annual compensation of around $ 607.8 million (US$14.4 million). As a reference, he indicated that this figure represents 3% of the institution’s income and approximately 40% of a monthly budget for liabilities.
The President of the Board of Directors of the institution, Virginia Romero, pointed out after the meeting that it is important that “this amount continue to be poured into the fund, which, as is public knowledge, has its financial and economic problems. That is why it is necessary that these resources be maintained and do not change the label from own resources to subsidies”. He added that a resource that is currently established by law would be subject to a Budget Law and that is what you want to avoid.
The delegation also asked to be included in article 444 of the Rendering of Accounts. This chapter authorizes the Social Security Bank (BPS) and the Retirement Fund to access the records of the National Electronic Medical Record of users who request or access benefits provided by said organizations when they are motivated by illness, maternity, physical incapacity or other health contingencies that require medical accreditation.
