A Council of Ministers decision approved yesterday will see a waiver of social security fines, as well as a reduction in interest on arrears, for taxpayers and self-employed workers.

“The decree covers all taxpayers and self-employed workers linked to the aforementioned system, who have not fulfilled their contribution obligations,” the Council of Ministers statement reads.

Without providing further details, it is explained that the decision “excludes taxpayers and self-employed workers who signed the agreement to the previous decrees on the pardon of fines and reduction of interest on arrears and did not comply with their contribution obligation”.

Asset declaration system

At this Tuesday’s meeting, the Council of Ministers also approved the decree approving the Regulation of the Asset Declaration System, repealing the previous decree.

The statement recalls that the Public Probity Law “establishes the duty to declare assets, which aims to ensure that all public servants who hold management positions, managers and those responsible, as well as all those who, due to the nature of their profession, activity or workplace, are exposed to a high risk of corruption, illicit enrichment, embezzlement, money laundering and related crimes, declare their assets”.
The regulations of the Asset Declaration System establish the procedures to be followed in the work of the Reception and Verification Commissions (CRV), as well as the inspection process and the updating of the asset declaration model, among other measures.
