**Taxpayers with Tax Debts Can Regularize: SAT BC**
Residents of Tijuana who are behind on their taxes have the opportunity to settle their debts thanks to flexible measures outlined in the current Federal Fiscal Code. According to Daniel Benigno Granados Herrera, head of the Baja California Decentralized Collection Administration, taxpayers can benefit from two main options: installment payments or the reduction of fines and interest rates.
For those opting for installment payments, the taxpayers can choose between partial payments or deferred payments. Partial payment plans allow taxpayers to clear their debts over a period of up to 36 months, starting with an initial payment of at least 20% and a fixed interest rate tailored to the chosen installment plan. The interest rate is set at 1.26% for 1 to 12 months, 1.53% for 13 to 24 months, and 1.82% for 25 to 36 months.
Alternatively, the deferred payment option requires an upfront payment of no less than 20%, permitting the remainder to be settled in a single further payment within a 12-month period. It is crucial to highlight that these payment facilities apply solely to debts determined by the authorities or self-determined, excluding amounts withheld, transferred, or collected.
