A few hours the deadline for taxpayers confirm the Portal of Finance invoices issued last year, a system error is preventing citizens validate, on your personal Page E-Invoice , the information that is deductible expenses the IRS.

taxpayers have until Monday to verify the invoices in the Tax and Customs Authority website, selecting, for example, a pending information as the sector of activity which corresponds to an expenditure made in 2015.

However, before the period ends, they are to be problems in confirming the data. A taxpayer who is on your personal page in the E-Invoice can complete the missing information, but at the time of validation of the invoice, the system issues a message that prevents you from finishing the process: “It is not possible to complete the information of invoices from previous years to 2016 “.

Contacted by PUBLIC, the Ministry of Finance recognizes that this is a” system error “and warrant that you are to solve the problem. The ministry does not help, for now, whether or not to extend the deadline – which ends on Monday. – To ensure that taxpayers are not harmed

The Tax Authority predicts that by the 15th February taxpayers can “complete the information from invoices to benefit from the deductions from taxable income”, being the tax authorities make available the amount of deductions in the E-Invoice site by the end of this month. Then, taxpayers have until March 15 to claim the Portal of Finance or a finance service if find “something is missing or incorrect”.

As this is the first year that the vast majority of deductions from IRS collection (relative to 2015) are automatically calculated based on invoices submitted to the tax authorities and the Government believes that there are still many taxpayers who are unaware of the new rules, the executive created a transitional regime for some expenses may be presented in the statement . IRS income

This possibility does not cover all the bills, only four types of expenditure – education, health, homes and property charges. In this case, the calculation of the tax deduction will take into account the value declared by subject IRS liability, replacing the bill that has been communicated to the tax authorities. It was the solution found to avoid situations where the taxpayers risked losing the tax benefits in areas such as health and education, or because an entity did not report the invoices to the tax authorities, is because the taxpayer had invoices validated.

the government has already postponed the deadline (February 19) to public schools, hospitals and landlords communicate to the tax authorities the invoices issued in 2015, which means that the taxpayer may still not find inserted in his personal page finance some of these bills. As this deadline was extended, open is the possibility of the following steps to delivery of the IRS – the deadlines for taxpayers check invoices and to claim – can also slide. Only in this way it ensures that taxpayers can check all invoices.

The Secretary of State for Fiscal Affairs, Fernando Rocha Andrade, came ever admit to postpone the deadlines for submission of tax returns. In an interview with Business Journal last week, Rocha Andrade said there was “no catastrophe to postpone deadlines when it is necessary to ensure that the system works with the minimum of fuss as possible.” PUBLIC questioned the Ministry of Finance on the new dates as well as the extension of deadlines for other validation and complaint, but received no clarification.
