However, due to a reorganization of the IT system, the electronic transmission of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, has been exceptionally extended to June 30, 2019. The platform is now available, and taxpayers can meet this requirement of the General Tax Code, for the deferred deposit year and for future times.
