[27/09/2024] 

Dear Clients and Friends, 

We hope that returning from the holidays has brought renewed energy to face the challenges of the second half of 2024. 

With our usual dedication, it’s time to prepare for the upcoming tax obligations and ensure that everything is in order. We would like to remind you that the deadline for the payment of the 2nd Payment on Account (PPC) for Corporate Income Tax (IRC) is approaching. 

According to Article 104 of the Corporate Income Tax Code (CIRC), the payment must be made by September 30, 2024. We recommend organizing in advance to avoid any penalties for non-compliance. 

As usual, we have provided a set of relevant topics, the documentation for which can be found in the attachments below for detailed consultation. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further clarification. 

Best regards,
