In a recent communication, Albar Derpic Linares, General Manager of the Servicio de Impuestos Nacionales, announced that the mechanism for forgiving tax debts will become automatic and ex officio, removing the need for taxpayers to submit individual petitions. The policy is designed to apply to certain categories of outstanding obligations, particularly those deemed administratively manageable and whose forgiveness promotes broader fiscal stability. According to Derpic, the automatic forgiveness will be triggered when predefined criteria—such as the age of the debt, the taxpayer’s compliance history, and the economic impact of recovery—are met. This approach aims to reduce procedural burdens, accelerate debt resolution, and encourage voluntary compliance by offering a clear, predictable pathway for debt relief. The statement also outlined the procedural steps that will be followed, including criteria documentation, internal audits, and public reporting to ensure transparency. By moving towards an automatic process, the SIN hopes to streamline administrative workflows, reduce backlogs, and allocate resources toward enforcement and compliance activities rather than case‑by‑case reviews. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to modernize tax administration, improve taxpayer relations, and support economic recovery through targeted fiscal incentives.
