SECOND PHASE FOR THE TRANSITION TO SURI SLATED FOR DECEMBER 2018

 

The Second Phase of the transition to the Internal Revenue Unified System (SURI) will be launched on December 10, 2018, informed the Treasury Department (TD) in its Informative Bulletin No. 18-16 (BI RI 18-16).  Among the transactions to be included in this phase are those related to withholdings at source, estates, and donations, as well as excise taxes, alcoholic beverage taxes, and license rights.  The Third Phase is due to be launched on December 2019 and will comprise all Income Tax transactions.

SURI was established with the purpose of integrating into one sole system all taxes managed by the TD. Through SURI, the TD will obtain an integrated vision of taxpayers’ accounts and will be able to optimize and accelerate the services offered by the Agency.  The First Phase was completed a few years ago and included all transactions related to the Sales and Use Tax (SUT).

The following tax activities will be made electronically after this Second Phase is implemented:

Withholdings at Source:

  • Deposits of the tax withholdings at source.
  • Filing of the Employer Quarterly Tax Return of Income Tax Withholdings (Form 499 R-1B).
