The Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Cristián Monckeberg, referred to the figure provided by the Internal Revenue Service (SII) that more than 437 thousand people they got the Middle Class Bonus declaring an amount less than the real one.
Regarding this fact, the Secretary of State highlighted that “what is happening seems bad to us, and not only does it seem wrong, but also we will persecute and punish them. We said it at the beginning, we said it in Parliament, that is how the regulation was approved, and that is what we are going to do now ”.
In addition, Monckeberg commented that “if they were also with work, even more so if they were civil servants, with a salary, with a stable job and they also ask for the bonus, they literally went overboard, they committed a crime. Either it is returned or it is sanctioned, that is the meaning of this ”.
“Finally what is there, they are deceiving the treasury and we are taking public resources in an equivocal way, and what is there, eventually, it is a crime (of fraud to the Treasury) ”, Monckeberg added.
It should be remembered that, after starting the verification processes to determine the correct fulfillment of the requirements established for the middle class, the SII detected that 437,703 workers dependents presented differences between the amount they self-declared as taxable salary.
This, since July 2020 at the time of requesting the bonus and the real calculated from your Mandatory social security contributions or what is actually received.
Thus, do not meet the legal requirement of having a decrease of 30% or more in their salaries for that month, with respect to the average total income of 2019. Of these, 400,603 are private sector workers and 37,100 government officials.
The fiscal resources involved reach US $ 256 million.
