The Customs Department has sent out notification to those beneficiaries of vehicular tax exemptions during the Mejia administration to visit the department to pay the corresponding taxes on the vehicles. The department says the tax exonerations that were issued in violation to tax laws in effect have definitely affected government revenues and were granted with the sole purpose of favoring particular individuals outside of what is established by the norms. The department is granting a period of 30 days, starting today, for the beneficiaries to come forward and remit payment of the corresponding taxes. It says that after this date it will begin compulsory collection of the taxes, eventually confiscating those vehicles whose taxes have not been paid in full.
