This means that if you buy items such as sausages, fries, fried plantains, packaged snacks, waffles, waffles, cakes, biscuits, meringues, ice cream, milkshakes, or sauces and soups, among others, they are taxed at 10 percent on their resale value.

3. Free zones tax:
The bill states that users of free zones can retain 20 percent if they have an Internationalization Plan that meets the minimum export threshold set by the National Government.

The Finance Minister asked businessmen and society in general to submit new proposals to cover these amounts to reach the figure of 25 billion pesos if they could not agree on any point of the reform.
