      This week's tax news from the Americas

  • Canada's federal budget 2024 announces further changes to alternative minimum tax
    On 16 April 2024, as part of the 2024 federal budget, the government introduced several revisions and technical amendments (updated amendments) to the proposed changes to the alternative minimum tax regime introduced in the 2023 federal budget for tax years beginning after 2023. The updated amendments contain mostly welcome changes that address some concerns identified by stakeholders with respect to certain measures in the initial draft legislative proposals released on 4 August 2023.
  • Peru introduces new 10-year passports
    Effective 7 May 2024, Peruvian nationals aged 18 years or above will be eligible to obtain ordinary passports that are valid for 10 years. Peruvian nationals between the ages of 12 and 17 will be eligible for ordinary passports that are valid for five years. Those under the age of 12 will be eligible for passports with a validity period of three years. Amendments to Peru's immigration laws, including the extended validity period for passports, were introduced in 2023 but implementation was only recently confirmed.
  • EY Canada's Tax Matters @ EY for May 2024
    Prepared by Ernst & Young Canada, this monthly bulletin provides a summary of recent tax news, case developments, publications, and upcoming presentations. Highlights of this month's edition include (i) budget season 2024-25 in review: what do the measures mean for individuals? (ii) employer’s effort to encourage carpooling may lead to unintended tax consequences for employees; and (iii) a federal court rules that ignorance of taxation rules is not a “reasonable error.”
  • How to improve your tax data value chain
    In the tax domain, data is not just an asset but an instrument that unlocks value when correctly orchestrated. However, the value may be unrealized without effective data governance and accurate analysis. Tax leaders should harness the right tools, approaches and standards to create business value from data. Businesses should also be aware of the disruption AI will potentially bring. Tax functions strive for improved processes and technology enhancements that facilitate robust data collection, analysis and conversions into actionable insights. However, what are the challenges and how can leaders create sustainable solutions? Learn more in this EY article.
