Uruguay enacts law with tax adjustments for PIT and Social Security Assistant Tax taxpayers

  • Uruguay's Executive Branch has enacted a new law regulating the proposed tax reductions to Personal Income Tax and Social Security Assistant Tax submitted in a previous bill to Congress.

  • The proposed tax measures will be effective for taxable events occurring on or after 31 December 2023.

On 24 March 2023, Uruguay's Executive Branch enacted Law 20,124, which includes tax reductions to Personal Income Tax (PIT) and Social Security Assistant Tax (IASS). The reductions reflect provisions initially proposed in the bill presented on 2 March 2023 (see Uruguay's President announces tax reductions that would alleviate some tax burdens for individual taxpayers and small to medium-sized companies, dated 16 March 2023).

The Law is pending publication in the Official Gazette and will be effective for taxable events occurring on or after 31 December 2023. It can be accessed here (pdf).
