Law 546 of August 31, 2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Law 546 amends the Real Estate Transfer Tax rules, known as ITBI, for qualifying first sales of new residential properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefit exempts the first B\/.120,000 of the taxable base. Preferential rates apply to the excess for taxable bases above that threshold and up to B\/.200,000. Higher amounts retain the initial exemption, with general rules applying to the excess.<\/p>\n

Eligibility also depends on the applicable occupancy permit deadline and deed requirements.<\/p>\n

Selected Tax Tribunal Decisions: Safeguards During DGI Audits<\/h2>\n
\n

Audit Periods Must Be Properly Communicated<\/h3>\n

TAT-RF-034 of August 21, 2026 | Case 003-2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The Administrative Tax Tribunal partially annulled a business operating notice tax assessment for 2010 and 2011 because those periods had not been included in the audit scope communicated for that tax. The assessment for the notified periods remained in place.<\/p>\n

The Tribunal also distinguished the suspensive effect of administrative appeals from suspension of the tax limitation period.<\/p>\n

Practical takeaway:<\/strong> Compare the taxes and periods in an assessment with the audit notice, and evaluate limitation periods separately.<\/div>\n

Read the full decision.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Effective Notice and an Opportunity to Respond<\/h3>\n

TAT-NUL-019 of July 3, 2026 | Case 042-2025<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tribunal emphasized effective notification of the audit and a meaningful opportunity for the taxpayer to explain, provide evidence, and challenge findings before an assessment is issued.<\/p>\n

In the case reviewed, failures affecting those safeguards led to absolute nullity of the challenged administrative acts.<\/p>\n

Practical takeaway:<\/strong> Retain notification records and evidence of opportunities provided to respond during the audit.<\/div>\n
