Good Evening! I have a quick question about taxes and how they pertain to my Labor Visa, aka NM1 Visa.
This morning at 8:30, I had my exoneration appointment with the Ministerio de Hacienda. I was granted the NM1 Visa on December 29, 2014, and my family and I moved to the DR on January 9th of this year. We had our container packed with our things, and it arrived to R?o Haina on February 4. I've been working with someone to help me sacar my mudanza.
I was informed by the lovely agent at Aduanas that I do not fulfill the requirements to have my taxes of $RD79,000 exonerated because I am not a resident. However, I do have an apartment contract, a bank account at Domincan Bank, a cell phone contract, an electric contract, a job, etc. How is it that I am being told that I must apply for residency so that I won't have to pay the taxes on the mudanza? Also, while my container sits in port, I must pay "alquiler" on the container for any additional day past 10 days. We are on day four of having to pay $RD2,000 per day plus ITBIS. Does all of this sound legit? If it is, will owe around $RD85,000.
My employer, a religious entity, has written a letter to Fernando Fern?ndez, General Director of Aduanas, for a special concession. Help!!!!!
Thanks!
