CHAPTER II · SIMPLIFIED REGIMESCAPÍTULO II · REGÍMENES SIMPLIFICADOS

Article 26Simplified regime for medium-sized enterprises (SIMPLE)

Art. 26#

Art. 26. Simplified regime for medium-sized enterprises (SIMPLE). A Simplified Regime for Medium-Sized Enterprises (SIMPLE) is hereby established for the taxpayers listed in items 1 and 8 of Article 2 of this law that carry on activities subject to the IRE, who may opt for this regime when their accrued income in the previous fiscal year does not exceed G. 2.000.000.000 (two thousand million guaraníes).

Such taxpayers may calculate this tax by determining their net income on an actual or a presumptive basis, whichever is lower.

To determine net income, the lower of the following shall be taken into account:

1. The positive difference between total income and total outgoings directly related to the taxed activity, provided that they are duly documented and represent an actual outlay; and, where the transaction must be documented with a self-invoice, it may not be at a price higher than the market price. Under this heading, the purchase of goods, supplies, raw materials, furniture and equipment may be deducted, as may outgoings relating to the construction, remodelling or refurbishment of the taxpayer’s establishment.

2. 30% (thirty per cent) of annual gross turnover.

A single rate of 10% (ten per cent) shall be applied to the amount so determined.

Negative results arising from the outgoings provided for in this article may not be offset or carried forward to subsequent fiscal years.

Sole proprietorships (empresas unipersonales) that pay the tax under this regime shall not be taxpayers of the IDU.

Art. 26.- Régimen Simplificado para Medianas Empresas (SIMPLE). Establézcase un Régimen Simplificado para Medianas Empresas (SIMPLE), destinado a los contribuyentes enunciados en los numerales 1 y 8 del artículo 2.° de la presente ley que realicen actividades gravadas por el IRE, quienes podrán optar por el presente Régimen, cuando sus ingresos devengados en el ejercicio fiscal anterior, no superen el importe de G. 2.000.000.000 (Dos mil millones de guaraníes).

Dichos contribuyentes podrán liquidar el presente impuesto determinando su renta neta sobre base real o presunta, la que resulte menor.

Para la determinación de la renta neta se tomará en cuenta la que resulte menor de:

1. La diferencia positiva entre el total de ingresos y de egresos relacionados directamente a la actividad gravada, siempre que los mismos se encuentren debidamente documentados, representen una erogación real; y en el caso que la operación deba documentarse con autofactura, no deberá ser a precio superior al de mercado. En este concepto, se podrá deducir la adquisición de mercaderías, insumos, materias primas, muebles, equipos, así como los egresos relativos a la construcción, remodelación o refacción de su establecimiento.

2. El 30% (treinta por ciento) de la facturación bruta anual.

Sobre el monto así determinado se aplicará la tasa única del 10% (diez por ciento).

Los resultados negativos derivados de los egresos previstos en el presente artículo no serán objeto de compensación ni arrastre en los siguientes ejercicios fiscales.

Las empresas unipersonales que liquiden el impuesto por este Régimen no serán contribuyentes del IDU.
