THE SPECIFIC PROCEDURE “EXEMPTION OF VAT (IGV) AND THE MUNICIPAL PROMOTION TAX (IPM) ON THE IMPORTATION OF GOODS FOR CONSUMPTION IN THE AMAZON – LAW No. 27037” DESPA-PE.01.15 (VERSION 3) IS APPROVED
By means of Superintendency Resolution No. 000107-2021/SUNAT, the specific procedure “Exemption of IGV and IPM on the importation of goods for consumption in the Amazon – Law No. 27037” DESPA-PE.01.15 (Version 2) was approved, which sets out the requirements to be followed for the customs clearance under the import-for-consumption regime carried out by companies located in the Amazon, in order to obtain the exemption from the General Sales Tax (IGV) and the Municipal Promotion Tax (IPM), under the Law for the Promotion of Investment in the Amazon (Law No. 27037).
Subsequently, through Supreme Decree No. 198-2024-EF, the Regulations of the General Customs Law were amended and, consequently, Article 18 of the Regulations of the Tax Provisions contained in the Law for the Promotion of Investment in the Amazon and Article 1 of Supreme Decree No. 029-2001-EF, among other purposes, were modified. The aim was to adapt the provisions of said regulations to the operations of the Chancay Multipurpose Port Terminal, to incorporate the Port of Chancay as an authorized place for the indirect entry of goods into the zone referred to in the Amazon Law, and to establish that—in such case—the submission of a bank or financial guarantee letter ensuring payment of the taxes on the importation of goods destined for consumption in the Amazon shall be made before the Chancay Customs Intendancy.
Accordingly, by means of this Resolution, a new version of the specific procedure “Exemption of IGV and IPM on the importation of goods for consumption in the Amazon – Law No. 27037” DESPA-PE.01.15 (Version 3) is approved. It should be noted that some of the most important aspects considered in this new version are to streamline procedures for both direct and indirect entry of goods into the zone established in the Amazon Law; to optimize the process for obtaining the benefit from the numbering of the electronic regularization/physical recognition request up to the registration of the completion record; and to regulate the transfer of goods to common taxation zones and special taxation zones, passing through a common taxation zone.
