Seasonal activities
Seasonal activities are considered to be those that usually only take place during certain days of the year, continuous or alternating, provided that the total does not exceed 180 days per year.
The tax liability under the simplified system resulting from subtracting the tax payable on current transactions from the tax payable on current transactions shall be multiplied by a corrective index, depending on the number of days the seasonal activity lasts.
The seasonal correction indexes are as follows:
- Up to 60 days of season:1.5
- From 61 to 120 days of season:1.35
- From 121 to 180 days of season:1.25
In the case of seasonal activities, the entrepreneur or professional must submit the quarterly self-assessments within the deadlines established by the tax regulations, even if the tax payable is zero.
