Tax returns and payments due dates postponed in light of COVID-19
18 Mar 2020To stop the further spread of COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”), the Puerto Rico Governor ordered the cease of operations of all governmental agencies until March 30, 2020. As a result, the Puerto Rico Treasury Department (“PRTD”) announced the postponement of various tax filing and payment due dates for the months of March and April 2020.
Section 6080.12(c) of the 2011 Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), empowers the Secretary of Treasury of Puerto Rico (“Secretary”) to extend the due date of the payment of all kind of taxes or the filing of any form or declaration required by the Code, for taxpayers that have been affected by a disaster officially declared by the Governor of Puerto Rico.
On March 12, 2020, the Puerto Rico Governor issued Executive Order No. OE-2020-020, in which declared a state of emergency with the purpose to stop the further spread of COVID-19. In addition, an island wide curfew was established through the issuance of Executive Order No. OE-2020-023. The same mandated all citizens to remain on their homes from 9:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. and limited the use of public roads and highways, for a 14-day period. All governmental agency offices were ordered to cease operations immediately and remain closed until March 30, 2020.
To that end, the PRTD has issued Administrative Determinations No. 20-03 and 20-05 with the purpose of postponing the deadline to file certain forms and declarations along with the payment of certain taxes that are due during the months of March and April 2020 and establishes that no interest, surcharges or penalties will be imposed due to said postponement.
