The initiative with Draft Decree presented by the executive power to the Chamber of Deputies on September 8, 2021, contemplates the creation of a new tax regime of trust for natural and legal persons, in this article we have compiled 8 points that we consider are of relevance of this regime for legal entities that started on January 2022, which we present below:

- The accumulation of income and deduction of expenditures will occur until these are received and paid (cash flow), this would allow not to pay taxes on income that has not yet been collected, benefiting some companies in their cash flows.
- Reduction of the term for the deduction of investments, new depreciation rates are proposed, such as 25% for office furniture and equipment and 50% for desktop and laptop personal computers, as long as the investments in the year do not exceed three million pesos.
