Let Green Management handle your tax headaches so you can relax

Municipal Taxes may be paid quarterly of annually.  They are typically due the 1st month of the new year.  The tax is based on 0.25% of the declared value of your property.   A garbage fee may be added to this tax

Local Business (Patente) Tax.   If you run a business or vacation rental, you may need to register and pay an annual Patente Tax at the local municipality.

Annual Corporate Tax.   If you own a corporation, there is an annual corporate tax due at the beginning of each calendar year.   If this tax is not paid,  then you will not be able to operate your corporation when conducting  bureaucratic tasks.  Depending on if your corporation is active or inactive, and the size and income, different rates apply.  Not paying the tax 3 years in a row may result in automatic dissolution of your corporation and assets!

Sales Tax.  If you operate a business or vacation rental, you are required to file monthly and pay the taxes (Impuesto de Valor Agregado, IVA) you have collected.  More information here.
