Gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced anuncia aumento en radicación de planillas y desembolso millonario de reintegros
(16 de julio de 2020- La Fortaleza, San Juan) - La gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced y el secretario del Departamento de Hacienda, Francisco Parés Alicea, informaron un cierre exitoso del ciclo contributivo del año 2019, con aumento en la radicación de planillas de individuos y de corporaciones, además del envío un pago millonario significativo de reintegros.
"El ciclo que acabamos de cerrar estuvo lleno de cambios y retos, comenzando con la implantación de la tercera fase del Sistema Unificado de Rentas Internas (SURI), que integró la radicación de planillas de individuos y corporaciones a la plataforma. Esta conversión se logró en medio de terremotos y luego de la pandemia del COVID-19, que aún enfrentamos, lo que nos obligó a suspender la asistencia presencial a los contribuyentes desde marzo y tuvimos que ofrecer todos los servicios en línea. Gracias a todos los contribuyentes por decir presente en estos momentos y al personal del Departamento de Hacienda, por ejecutar de una manera ordenada y totalmente digitalizada, un ciclo histórico para Puerto Rico", expresó la gobernadora.

Developments That Matter
U.S. Chamber Calls on Congress to Provide Additional Support for Individuals, Families, and Employers As Pandemic Drags On
Thursday, July 16, 2020, Washington, D.C. - U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Thomas J. Donohue sent a letter today to congressional leaders urging swift action to combat the coronavirus pandemic and provide economic relief to families, businesses, and communities across the country.
"We have not yet beaten the coronavirus or achieved the economic recovery that we all desire," Donohue wrote. "With the benefit of our experience to date and fresh data, Congress should enact proposals that are timely, temporary, and targeted to current needs. The Chamber urges policymakers to be judicious in their approach. While it is critical that Congress provide meaningful assistance to the unemployed, employers that continue to be negatively impacted by social distancing requirements, and state and local governments, it is also critical that we avoid counterproductive policies that will delay economic recovery or diminish long-term growth."
U.S. Chamber Applauds National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Modernization Ruling
As we've previously shared, earlier this year, the Trump Administration announced steps to modernize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to improve environmental permitting and reduce delays that are hampering the construction of infrastructure projects. Yesterday, the U.S. Chamber applauded the Trump Administration's release of long overdue updates to NEPA.
U.S. Chamber Issues Initial Agenda for Equality of Opportunity Initiative
Last week, following the initial launch of the initiative and last month's National Summit, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released its Equality of Opportunity Initiative Agenda proposing data-driven public policy and private sector solutions to help close race-based opportunity gaps in our society for Black Americans and people of color.
The agenda includes more than 30 policy recommendations and private sector solutions that comprise the initial Equality of Opportunity Agenda across its four key areas of Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Criminal Justice Reform. Click here

ICYMI: U.S. Chamber Expresses Concern for Current Face Covering Policies in Joint Letter to President, Vice President, and National Governors Association
Earlier this month, the U.S Chamber of Commerce sent a joint letter with business leaders to the President, Vice President, and Governors Hogan and Cuomo urging that the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the National Governors Association work together to:
COVID-19 Vaccine Innovators Hit the House Floor
Next Tuesday, July 21, the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee will hold a hearing with some of the innovative biopharmaceutical companies leading the coronavirus vaccine race. The companies will discuss their research and development efforts, as well as their ongoing preparations to manufacture and distribute resulting solutions.
Rule Change Protects Environment While Helping America Rebuild
Today, President Trump unveiled a new rule that modernizes the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a vital federal environmental law that has not seen major updates since it was adopted in 1970. NEPA reforms have been a top Chamber priority for decades.
Data Show Economy Heated Up in June
The resurgence of COVID-19 will likely slow the nascent economic recovery. However, the data we have for June, when we had increasing economic reopening, continues to show the economy was heating up.
The Pros and Cons of Transforming Into a Virtual Company-Permanently
When I started my business in 2008, the idea of working from our homes didn't really occur to my partners and me. After working in the same office for many years, we were comfortable sharing a workplace. We leased office space for nearly 18 months before realizing how much money we could save by working remotely. And 12 years later we're still operating virtually. So, when the pandemic hit, our operations were not affected as much as other businesses having to transition employees to work from home.
The Arts Are Big Business - and in Real Trouble
The performing arts and entertainment industry is in real trouble thanks to COVID-19 - the sector's workers, venues, and organizations are in desperate need of help because of the shutdown. The nature of the way it functions (lots of close contact, mainly indoors) means it's going to be among the last to reopen: most live performance is cancelled until at least 2021, and television and film production is still trying to figure out when it can start up again. Many workers are freelancers, a lot of the others usually working full time have been furloughed or laid-off, and there are individuals and organizations running out of money to pay studio and theater rents (not to mention their own personal bills). The business is facing a devastating crisis, and is in desperate need of help.

Financial Transaction Tax Could Hit Average Spanish
Since Pedro Sanchez first became Spain's Prime Minister in 2018 and, now, in conjunction with the left-wing coalition party, Unidas Podemos, he has been working to overhaul the Spanish tax system. The main measures to increase revenue entailed higher taxes for businesses and high-income earners. In the face of the economic shock delivered by the pandemic, the government considered it urgent to move ahead with its fiscal agenda despite opposition within Spain's parliament and tensions within the coalition government. Additionally, since January 2019 the government has been trying to get two major taxes passed: the so-called Google tax (a 3 percent digital services tax) and the financial transaction tax (FTT).
