Officials of the Internal Revenue Service (SII) rejected the “pardon” of the institution to Penta companies, after the reduction of 1,400 million pesos that was granted to him for expenses in legal advice.
The controversy erupted after it was revealed that the SII accepted an appeal made by Penta, so that the investment in its lawyers was considered as necessary expenses and discounted from the calculation for the tax payment, after the different legal problems that the holding company experienced.
In this way, the business group managed to get the agency to lower the $ 1.4 billion that he spent on lawyers during cases of irregular financing of the policy and tax crimes, of the total amount on which his taxes for the 2018 tax year were calculated, according to Ciper.
Let us remember that the company was involved in cases of tax crimes and irregular financing of the policy, in investigations that ended in convictions for its controllers Carlos Eugenio Lavín and Carlos Délano.
Opposition parliamentarians harshly criticized the measure adopted by the body and called for the departure of Fernando Barraza placeholder image, who defended himself by assuring that “there was no situation of privilege.”
From the National Association of Officials of the Internal Revenue Service and the Association of Inspectors of the Internal Revenue Service, they joined in the criticism.
Through a public statement, they indicated that “Mr. Fernando Barraza adds to his management record a new episode of shame and regrettable distancing from the integrity that should govern all proceedings.”
Likewise, they add that “in this new episode, it is not a mere interpretation of the norm, but it has an open illegal character, defining as” tax “expenditures that under no circumstances are intended to generate income, but correspond to the judicial defense against fraudulent actions by the representatives of a company that repeatedly committed acts constituting a crime, and that was convicted for it.
In conversation with Radio Bío Bío, the President of the Association of Inspectors of the Internal Revenue Service, Juan Apablaza, questioned the leadership of the current director of the agency.
In the midst of this tense environment, Barraza confirmed that he instructed an internal audit to be carried out to determine if the procedures were correct to allow the downgrade.
