The Puerto Rico Treasury Department is kicking this year’s tax season into high gear this week, when it will begin cutting tax refund checks and will open eight tax return orientation and preparation centers today, agency officials said.
As part of the government’s strategies to increase tax evasion oversight, Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla sent a bill to the Legislature that will allow the use of certified payment processors in all local businesses, as well as the exchange of information between municipalities and the Treasury Department.
