On 18 December 2018, Peru published in the Official Gazette the decree setting the tax unit value (Unidad Impositiva Tributaria - UIT) for 2019, which is increased from PEN 4,150 to PEN 4,200. The UIT is used for a variety of tax-related purposes, including in relation to individual income tax brackets and deductions, real estate property and transfer tax, technical service fee payment reporting (otherwise higher withholding applies), deductions for R&D and low-value assets, revenue thresholds for Local and Master files (reports), and others.
