Employees affected by earthquakes expect measures to alleviate tax obligations

Businesses in Venezuela affected by the June 24 earthquakes are still accumulating tax obligations, as only local mayors have granted extensions.

Andy Oropeza, a business tax advisor, stated that companies affected by the June 24 earthquakes are still facing accumulating tax obligations.

Only municipal mayors have granted extensions so far; no national decree has been issued.

The Organic Tax Code allows for force majeure mechanisms, including an emergency decree or a Seniat ruling.

Oropeza argues that taxpayers should not be sanctioned for temporary non-compliance due to the emergency.
