During the last months, the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (AFIP) deployed a series of measures focused on the reconversion and digital innovation of the taxpayer-taxpayer relationship.
The launch of the digital wallet, the announcement of the imminent "Cyber IVA", the increasingly massive use of the Posnet, the generation of the online CUIT and the generalization of the electronic invoice among monotributistas are presented as the spearhead that deploys the organism by Leandro Cuccioli.
Electronic wallet
The "vedette" of the new tools that the Treasury has is the recently official "AFIP Electronic Billfold", a new option to pay taxes.
This instrument can be charged funds by homebanking, from the website of the entity, or by international electronic transfer. Thus, the modalities of digital collection are extended.
The income of money to the Wallet will be given in a generic way. That is, no specific imputation will be made, as it will be available to the taxpayer to decide how to use it.
What can be paid?
The credit registered in the "AFIP Electronic Billfold" can be used to cancel own or a third party's obligations, which correspond to:
- Balance of sworn statements presented.
- Advances.
- Payments on account of withholdings and / or payments.
- Interests -resarcitorios or punitive- and fines that are related to the concepts mentioned in the previous points.
What can not be paid?
The funds deposited in this tool can not be used for the payment of:
- Personal contributions of self-employed workers.
- Monotributo-Simplified Regime for Small Taxpayers (RS).
- The contributions and contributions destined to the special social security regime for employees of the domestic service and workers of private homes.
- Fees or cancellations on account of the "My Facilities" plans.
- Regimes whose payments must be paid by generating specific payment flyers.
How to load funds
There are two ways to load funds in this tool.
The first one is by electronic transfer, through the service "Carga Billetera AFIP", which will be available by any of these two routes:
- On the website of the AFIP: accessing with Tax Code Security Level 2 or higher, plus the Unique Tax Identification Code (CUIT), Unique Code of Labor Identification (CUIL) or Identification Code (CDI).
- By homebanking: using the access provided by the bank of each taxpayer.
In both cases, within the "AFIP Bill Pay" service, the CUIT of the taxpayer to which the funds will be credited and the amount to be transferred must be indicated. The minimum amount to load is 1,200 pesos.
If the system requests it, the payment entity must be selected through which the electronic transfer of funds will be ordered.
To complete the operation, the generated VEP is paid. There is a term of 30 days running from the moment of the generation of the payment voucher.
The other way is through the International Banking Transfer (TBI).
The information and the list of authorized collection entities can be consulted in the microsite called "Payment by International Banking Transfer" of the official website of the AFIP.
Consultation of balance and payment of obligations
The balance can be viewed by entering a tax code with security level 2 or higher than the "Tax Accounts System", within the options "Transactions" and "AFIP Electronic Billfold".
From there, it will also be possible to select or incorporate the obligations to be paid, which may be own or of a third party, who will be identified by means of CUIT.
The one in which the funds are imputed in the "Tax Accounts System" will be taken as the payment date.
Imputation of office and return of funds
If the person in charge of the Electronic Billfold AFIP does not inform a destination for the funds within the term of thirty consecutive days from the moment of the accreditation, the money may be imputed ex officio by the AFIP. If there are no outstanding obligations, the refund will be made.
The taxpayer may also request the restitution of the remainder as long as it does not register debts with the Agency.
The refund will be made by bank transfer, destined to a peso account whose Uniform Banking Code (CBU) has been declared by the applicant.
Cyber VAT
The AFIP will reward consumers who request an invoice for their purchases by granting them a balance on their SUBE cards.
The project, called "Cyber VAT", will be translated into a mobile application that will scan the tickets and invoices delivered by shops, restaurants and kiosks.
In return, users will receive a balance on their transport card. In this way, the national collection agency seeks to minimize evasion and that there is greater transparency, driven by consumers who request proof of their purchases.
Digital CUIT
The Unique Tax Identification Code (CUIT) is a number that identifies citizens and companies as taxpayers of the national treasury.
In the case of individuals, it coincides with the CUIL granted by the ANSES. But to obtain the CUIT, a specific procedure must be carried out before the AFIP.
As of October 15, the agency authorized a procedure to obtain the number of CUIT of the individuals in a totally digital form. That is, through the Internet.
This new modality also serves to obtain or recover (whiten) the tax code and thus carry out procedures on the AFIP website.
For now, the procedure is only authorized for individuals, not for companies or other organizations.
The main requirement is to have the new digital ID, since it allows the State to have biometric data of citizens.
To process the tax code you must follow the following steps:
- Enter the website of the AFIP "Digital Registration" (or Cuit On Line).
- Press the option "If you do not have or do not remember your tax code".
- Complete the information requested, the due date and the ID number.
- Create the eight-digit tax code (must include two numbers) and re-enter it. When entering the system again, change must be modified.
- If before creating the CUIT the fiscal key was generated, the system will direct to the next screen. If not, you have to go back into "Digital Registration" and choose the option "If you already have and you remember your tax code".
- Then, the data requested must be completed, upload a front photo of the DNI, the back and color photo of the face.
- It is also necessary to inform the real address (the one that appears in the document) and the fiscal address, in which the activity is carried out (it may coincide with the first one).
- Generate the electronic fiscal address (e-mail address) and inform a contact telephone number.
- You must also validate the e-mail box with a code that is sent to the e-mail.
- Check that all the data is correct and press "Get CUIT".
- The system checks that all the information entered is correct and that the photo matches that of the DNI. If OK, the CUIT number is generated and reported.
- If there are problems, it also communicates and sends instructions to the email to correct the data, entering the "Registration System".
Posnet and electronic invoices
Since April, all monotributistas that make sales of goods to the final consumer, provide mass consumption services, execute works or rent "movable things" are obliged to receive debit cards as means of payment.
For this they must have a Posnet or Lapos device (fixed or mobile) that accepts all the cards without restriction.
On the other hand, now they are allowed to accept other forms of cancellation such as electronic wallets and payment button (the one used in electronic commerce).
And, from January of 2020, the option will be enabled for the rapid response codes (QR) that some businesses have implemented.
The advance is completed with the generalization of electronic receipts. With this tool, the Treasury has an immediate knowledge of the sales made by the taxpayers.
Since last year, monotributistas from categories F to K were already required. As of November 1, those of step E (gross annual income above $ 322,575.81) were added.
The schedule continues until April 2019, when all will be included. The next ones bound are those in step D from December 1 next.
The small taxpayers who carry out mass consumption sales have only been forced since April. Also, everyone can opt before those dates, but then they will not be able to return to paper invoicing.
