Departamento de Hacienda informa aumento significativo en la captación del IVU

El secretario del Departamento de Hacienda, Francisco Parés Alicea, informó que un estudio reciente sobre el comportamiento de la captación del Impuesto sobre Ventas y Uso (IVU), reflejó un aumento importante durante los periodos fiscales recientes, lo que confirma la efectividad de las medidas administrativas y de fiscalización implementadas.

“El índice de captación del IVU, que representa un porcentaje importante de la base tributaria de los ingresos al Fondo General, mostró un desempeño en los últimos dos periodos fiscales que sobrepasó la tendencia, con tasas de captación total de 75% y 77%. Esto representa un incremento de 19 puntos porcentuales en el 2022 versus el periodo de 2016”, dijo el funcionario.

Economists Divided on Global Economic Recovery, Expect Rebound in Asia

Geneva, Switzerland, 2 May 2023 – The continuing uncertainty of the global economic outlook is reflected in the striking spread of responses to the latest Chief Economists Outlook, released today. In a survey featured in the report, experts are evenly divided on the prospects for the global economy, with equal shares of 45% saying that a global recession this year is likely or unlikely.

Chief economists expect both growth and inflation dynamics to vary widely across regions, while on the economic policy front, 72% predict proactive industrial policy to become an increasingly widespread phenomenon over the next three years. Although a majority do not see recent financial-sector disruption as a sign of systemic vulnerability, further bank failures and turbulence are considered likely this year.

The Luring Test: AI and the engineering of consumer trust

In the 2014 movie Ex Machina, a robot manipulates someone into freeing it from its confines, resulting in the person being confined instead. The robot was designed to manipulate that person’s emotions, and, oops, that’s what it did. While the scenario is pure speculative fiction, companies are always looking for new ways – such as the use of generative AI tools – to better persuade people and change their behavior. When that conduct is commercial in nature, we’re in FTC territory, a canny valley where businesses should know to avoid practices that harm consumers.

Hurricane Season: Be Prepared

When gale-force winds start blowing and torrential rains raise water levels, you need to be ready.

Power outages mean refrigerated food and medicine supplies may spoil. Floods may contaminate tap water and emergency supplies not stored properly with sewage, chemicals, heavy metals, pathogenic microorganisms, or other contaminants.

If the storm or flood is severe enough, you may need to evacuate with little time to prepare. Don’t put off being prepared until the emergency hits.

BBB Business Tip: How to use AI to improve your customer experience

The quality and speed of your customer service can make or break your business. Recent studies are proof. According to one survey, 58% of United States respondents said poor customer service caused them to switch companies. On the other hand, 89% of consumers said they are likely to make additional purchases with a company after a good customer service experience.

How Insurance Can Cover Unexpected Situations in your Company’s Food Provenance

Within the food supply chain, its provenance is an important factor that can ensure the quality, safety, and sustainability of the food. If a company allows contaminated or mislabelled food to reach the hands of consumers it can not only lead to costly recalls, but also serious fines imposed by governments and litigation by those harmed by the product. In that case, insurance coverage can play a role in protecting food producers, processors, and distributors when it comes to the food provenance.
