According to article 148 of the Code, these illicit acts may be classified as contraventions and crimes.

The purpose of this article is to inform about the main aspects of the contraventions and the tax sanctions that these entail.

What type of tax infractions or contraventions exist in Bolivia?

According to article 160 of the Bolivian Tax Code, the following are considered contraventions subject to a tax sanction by the Tax Administration:

  • The omission of the inscription in the tax registers.
  • Failure to issue proof of payment, such as an invoice, tax bill or other equivalent document.
  • The omission of the payment of a tax.
  • Contraband according to the last paragraph of Article 181.
  • Failure to comply with the formal duties imposed.
  • Those typified in special laws.

What are the types of tax penalties for contraventions?

According to Article 161 of the Tax Code, there are up to 6 types of tax penalties for contravening conduct and these are as follows:

  • Fine.
  • Closing.
  • Loss of tax concessions or benefits.
  • Prohibition to contract with the State.
  • Permanent confiscation of goods.
  • Temporary suspension of activities.

In case of the contraventions indicated in the previous paragraph, the following sanctions are applied, which may be serious or very serious:
