Tax reform contains errors

The tax reform bill sent by the Senate to the Executive Branch for its ratification is plagued with errors, reports the Listin Diario today. Senate leader Andres Bautista said that because of time constraints, untoward circumstances and a general rush, the tax reform package was forwarded with errors still remaining in its text, but that they are aware of them. He said the bill they received from the Chamber of Deputies contained many errors that the Executive Branch will have to correct. Bautista made clarified that these glitches were detected by the special commission that studied the bill in Congress. He said that the Senate thereby alerted the director of the Tax Department, Juan Hernandez, who assured that they would deal with the situation.
