“I believe this is an opportunity for us to discuss and reform the tax system in accordance with the actual situation of the country, and of course the actual situation of small and medium-sized enterprises. If it does, it will be on the agenda again in the Senate and we will be able to make much-needed tax reform,” Sandoval said in a conversation with La Radio’s Podolía Ser Peor programme.

When asked what he would have liked to hear more about, Sandoval said, “This tax reform talks about taxing the wealthiest people more without affecting small businesses, but it’s very complicated. A tax system (…) that ultimately confuses all of this and small businesses will want to consider what the IRS sends as proposals (…) We do not have professional tax or legal services.”
“Tax laws must be very clear and not interpretive. , when SMEs say they have a SME regime, SMEs should be part of it. But if you have income, don’t start looking if you have relatives (…), ”he added Conapyme’s vice president.
In this line, Sandoval said one thing to watch out for is that “rules made for others don’t affect small businesses.” Also, since it is a project, there is an impact.
