The Ministry of Finance will propose to Parliament amendments to the joint taxation scheme for IRS in the state budget proposal for 2017, revealed Friday the ward office by Mário Centeno.
objective of the Government is that the change of the system is made so that in the future, and from the settlement of the IRS that takes place in 2017, the late delivery of the statement does not imply the impossibility of the option for joint taxation, together with the creation a special regime applicable to taxpayers for which it found the situation in 2016, enabling them to have access to IRS settlement under the joint taxation.
“the standard under which taxpayers deliver his statement after the deadline may not opt for joint taxation regime, and to them must apply the separate taxation system was introduced in the 2014 IRS reform, “pointed out the Finance.
added “This standard was implemented for the first time in 2016 IRS settlement and resulted in the fact that many couples, having delayed the submission of the declaration, if they see private option for joint taxation. It was so, where this joint taxation was more favorable, this has come to represent a significant worsening of the IRS settlement. “
Finance also stress that” considering that the delivery late in statements has an associated penalty in law, that is the respective fine, this worsening of settlement becomes an additional penalty, sometimes much higher than the fine value without justification. “
the ministry led by Centeno also recognized that “being the first time that the rule is applied, and if this is not widely known, the legal consequences of late caught by surprise many taxpayers, as recently pointed out by the Ombudsman.”
Second Finance, “from the moment that this question was raised him, the Government assessed the situation in order to study mechanisms that would allow to solve the issue within their powers. The conclusion was that, in the case of a consequence resulting very clearly the law, only a change in the law, it is for the Assembly of the Republic, can solve these situations. “
The Ombudsman sent the government a number of complaints about tax matters to be taken into account in preparing the state budget, particularly related to expenditure on education and joint taxation after the legal deadline.
failure option for joint taxation on statements submitted after the legal deadline led to a high number of complaints to the Ombudsman in the year 2016, according to the information provided.
the surprise expressed by families to the “extraordinary loss” that caused them to delivery statements of IRS income after the legal deadline — preventing them from deciding to joint taxation — led the Ombudsman to draw attention to the need, “not only re-evaluate the system for the future, as well as consider ways of not harm those who did not give the term in statements by ignoring the effects of what appeared to be an inconsequential detail of the new legislation. “
