Extension of time to file the F. 8117 Affidavit

September 20, 2021

Through General Resolution No. 5071/2021, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues modified the second item of Article 1, paragraph 2 of General Resolution No. 4.93 to extend the term applicable to file Affidavit F.8117.

1. Legislative Background

General Resolution No. 4.581 established the requirements, terms, and forms to request the refund of tax credits arising from the purchase, construction, manufacture, processing, or definitive importation of goods for use, except automobiles.

On the other hand, General Resolution No. 4,937 established exceptional guidelines to process the benefit corresponding to 2020, extending until April 30, 2021, including the deadline for the systematic remission of the “web” Affidavit Form F. 8117 and the special report extended by an independent public accountant.

2. Dissatisfaction of taxpayers

It is important to emphasize that, given some systemic inconveniences expressed by taxpayers making it difficult to comply with the filings in due time and form, it is necessary to extend the above-mentioned exceptional term until an appropriate date so all taxpayers comply with the requirements.

3. Deadline extension

Consequently, the Administration proceeded to extend the remission of the “web” Affidavit Form F. 8117 and the special report extended by an independent public accountant referred to in the regulations until October 31, 2021.
