This decree implements the VAT rate reduction recently announced by the Executive Branch with the purpose of encouraging electronic payments in order to deal with the current crisis of legal tender.
The VAT rate reduction will not be applicable in the following cases:
Even though the language of the provision is not clear, it appears the decree also excludes transactions involving a VAT collection agent from applying the reduced VAT rate.
