The Governor of the Carabobo state issued Decree No. 1,557 ("Decree"),[1] whereby it set the value of the Special Tax Amount ("ITE") in 0.00015 Petros ("PTR"), which will have as reference the value of the Sovereign Crypto asset Petro. [2] That equals to VES 8,833.41. [3] The previous value, set on 27 July 2020, was VES 1,500.00.[4] The ITE must be paid in its equivalent only in VES, according to the final value of the immediately preceding business day indicated by the Central Bank of Venezuela.
The Decree entered into force on 1 December 2020.
The value of the ITE will be a calculation base for payments made by taxpayers, liable parties, collection or withholding tax agents of state taxes, special contributions, fines, penalties, surcharges, and any other tax components applied by the Bodies and Entities of the Public Administration (Centralized and Decentralized) and by the Active and Passive Fiscal Control Bodies of the Carabobo state.
The Decree establishes the payment for all tax components provided for in the state statutes that use the ITE as the base for calculation, upon the issue of documents, acts, and tax withholdings and collections. The value of the ITE may be modified by the regional executive according to the fluctuations of the PTR.
The Decree repealed Decree No. 1,443 of 23 July 2020.[5]
