According to the workers, this situation occurs due to “lack of foresight and inadequate management policies by the Directorate, which led the administration to launch the personal income tax campaign without the workers who will fulfill this task have yet entered.” .
“We regret that the DGI Directorate has not given priority to this issue that is so important for everyone, so we demand respect for the citizen and adequate management policies,” the union said in a statement.
The tax workers’ union also stated that they did not understand how it is that after 15 years of personal income tax campaign, the “DGI improvises in this instance.”
Decommissioning of services
“We request the immediate entry of the workers who must fulfill this function. The General Tax Directorate is suffering from the dismantling of services”, claims the union.
At the same time, it denounces that to date, “there are almost 300 vacant positions and it is expected that by the end of the current government period the vacancies will reach 500, which also impacts the personal income tax campaign and the attention of all communication channels”.
The Association of Tax Officials has denounced the “emptying of services.”
The Directorate of DGI “unilaterally closed the offices of several locations in the interior, such as Santa Lucia, Castillos, Dolores,” the union recalled.
