The head of the United Retailers Association, known as CUD in Spanish, urged local authorities to approve an extension to file a petition for exemption from paying the Christmas bonus, as well as for the second payment on property taxes to the Municipal Revenues Collection Center, or CRIM.
The Puerto Rico Municipal Revenues Collection Center, or CRIM, announced Sunday it collected $156 million during the 100-day amnesty period that gave tax payers a chance to pay off their property-related debt free of interest, surcharges and penalties.
