PL 5892/2023-CR is being cooked in Congress, which establishes the foundations of the new Industries Law. Among his main aspects, he seeks to be exempt from paying taxes on the sector in regions such as Arequipa, Puno and Cusco.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) warns that this new law – promoted by some legislators against the National Society of Industries (SNI)— would mean more than S/32,000 million lost in tax revenue.
Minister Alex Contreras told La República that the congressional initiative requires a thorough evaluation, beyond seeking to pave the way for business activity.
“It is important to generate incentives, but they have to result in greater investment. Peru has an agenda to restructure tax exemptions, but they have to be rigorously evaluated“added the head of the MEF at the Americas Society/Council of the Americas (AS/COA) event.
Political instability does not help recover GDP capacity
Contreras Miranda emphasized that “the political context” has not allowed the growth potential of the Peruvian economy to be recovered, and, on the contrary, has diminished its capacity.
Likewise, the official argued that corruption affects business confidence, and called what happened with prosecutor Patricia Benavides, who is accused of allegedly leading a criminal organization, despicable.
