JFC apoya medidas legislativas para cambiar leyes sobre reformas al Código de Rentas Internas

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La Junta de Control Fiscal (JCF) dio su apoyo el viernes a varias medidas legislativas que buscan reformar el Código de Rentas Internas en Puerto Rico.

“La Junta apoya las iniciativas legislativas, como la Ley 52-2022 que ofrecen alternativas al régimen contributivo de la Ley 154 y garantizan que Puerto Rico siga siendo un lugar atractivo para hacer negocios. En particular, la Junta de Supervisión apoya los esfuerzos para reformar el Código de Rentas Internas con el propósito de garantizar un recaudo estable y promover la responsabilidad y transparencia fiscal.

Dado que las empresas multinacionales actualmente sujetas a la Ley 154 consisten en varios de los mayores contribuyentes de Puerto Rico, es imperativo que el Gobierno de Puerto Rico implemente con éxito un nuevo régimen contributivo para estas empresas afectadas por la eliminación del crédito federal del arbitrio de la Ley 154. Estas empresas representan industrias clave que han realizado importantes inversiones de capital en Puerto Rico y generan una parte importante del Producto Interno Bruto de Puerto Rico. En el año fiscal 2021, estas empresas y sus más de 36,000 empleados en Puerto Rico también contribuyeron más de 2,000 millones de dólares al Fondo General del Gobierno mediante los pagos de la Ley 154, los pagos de contribución sobre ingresos de corporaciones, pagos de contribución retenida sobre regalías y pagos de contribución sobre ingresos de individuos, entre otras contribuciones sobre ingresos. La economía local debe retener esta inversión y empleo en el sector manufacturero -así como los ingresos contributivos asociados- y encontrar una alternativa bien diseñada al régimen contributivo actual es fundamental para conseguirlo.

Sin embargo, el impacto neto de la Ley 52 en el recaudo de ingresos es muy incierto. La Junta estima, por ejemplo, que la Ley 52 puede tener un impacto negativo en los ingresos del Gobierno de Puerto Rico de hasta 143 millones de dólares en el primer año, en determinados escenarios. El Gobierno debe adoptar las siguientes medidas para mantener la neutralidad de ingresos y permitir así que la Junta de Supervisión certifique que la Ley 52 no es significativamente inconsistente con el Plan Fiscal:

Deben separarse y reservarse 250 millones de dólares del superávit de años anteriores para financiar un posible déficit de recaudo del nuevo régimen. Esta reserva permitirá un respaldo contra un posible déficit de ingresos y proporcionará una salvaguarda hasta que se comprendan por completo las implicaciones fiscales de la Ley 52.
El Gobierno concuerda en que la aplicación de cualquier incentivo fiscal adicional a los médicos no ocurrirá hasta que el Gobierno redacte una orden administrativa -y esta sea aprobada por la Junta de Supervisión- que incluya garantías de que existen suficientes protecciones para neutralizar las posibles implicaciones fiscales negativas de la disposición sobre los incentivos fiscales a los médicos.

La Junta considera especialmente preocupante el aumento al crédito contributivo por servidumbre de conservación de 3 a 15 millones de dólares que se establece en la Ley 52. Como una de las medidas para mantener la neutralidad de ingresos en una ley anterior, la Ley 40-2020, la Legislatura de Puerto Rico redujo el tope máximo anual autorizado de los créditos contributivos por servidumbre de conservación de 15 millones de dólares a 3 millones de dólares. Las disposiciones utilizadas en leyes anteriores para contrarrestar el impacto presupuestario no deben revertirse en leyes posteriores, salvo que la reversión incluya una fuente de compensación alterna claramente definida en la legislación actual.

Si el Gobierno confirma por escrito que cumplirá con las disposiciones solicitadas por la Junta para lograr la neutralidad de ingresos, la Junta está preparada para certificar que la Ley 52 no es significativamente inconsistente con el Plan Fiscal. En caso de que el Gobierno se niegue a confirmar que cumplirá con los requisitos para lograr la neutralidad de ingresos, la Junta se reserva el derecho de tomar las medidas que considere necesarias, conforme a PROMESA, incluida la búsqueda de recursos para impedir la aplicación y el cumplimiento de la Ley 52, así como su anulación. Esperamos que tal acción sea innecesaria”, destacó la JCF en declaraciones escritas.

Six Jamaican men who were caught cultivating a marijuana farm in North Andros in the Bahamas, were sentenced to prison on Thursday for two-and-a-half years each.

According to the Nassau Guardian newspaper, officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit arrested Leroy Douglas, Walford Reid, Jermaine Jones, Devon Simpson, Bruce Palmer, and Everton Palmer on August 14, after conducting two days of surveillance on the farm.

During an arraignment before Magistrate Samuel McKinney, the men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess dangerous drugs with intent to supply, possession of dangerous drugs, and cultivation of dangerous drugs in relation to the four-acre marijuana farm that had 25,000 plants and 20,000 seedlings.

The illegal crop has a street value of B$2.5 million, according to police.

McKinney sentenced the men to concurrent sentences of two-and-a-half years on each count. Additionally, he gave the convicts the choice of paying a B$7,500 fine or spending an additional six months in prison.

The men also pleaded guilty to drug possession in relation to the seizure of four grams of marijuana that police found while searching their home.

They were each fined B$250. If the fine is not paid, they will spend a month in prison.

Inspector Timothy Bain prosecuted and the convicts were unrepresented. They face deportation to Jamaica on completion of their sentence.

Police arrest 7 scrap-iron workers at night protest

Southern Division Task Force police arrested seven scrap-iron workers after a protest on Thursday night in Claxton Bay.

Earlier that day, a group of men from the industry blocked Temple Street with branches and old scrap iron to express frustration over the recently implemented six-month ban on the export of scrap iron.

The workers threatened more action if their calls for government to rethink the ban are ignored. They also condemned the Opposition and scrap-iron dealers for doing nothing to prevent the ban.

In a release on Friday afternoon, police said they were alerted to another protest involving scrap-iron dealers and workers at Cedar Hill Road, Claxton Bay between 8 pm and midnight.

They arrested seven men between 20 and 41, all from the Claxton Bay area, for disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest.

Several other people at the protest escaped.

President of the Scrap Iron Dealers Association Allan Ferguson is now calling on those in the industry to stand down and take the correct route to demonstrate their dissatisfaction.

In a phone interview with Newsday on Friday, Ferguson said, “I am aware of the arrests, and we hope good sense prevail. We will do what we can do through legal counsel to see what the association can do.

“We spoke to them and told them we understand people are angry that they are now out of work and can’t feed their family.

“We understand all of that. But we are working hard to get a meeting with the authorities, and we hope our rally planned for next Wednesday will make a difference.

“We want to send a strong message. We are doing our best and seeking all the necessary advice.”
