Resumen
La finalidad del presente informe es elaborar un análisis técnico respecto a la
determinación de renta de fuente peruana en los casos en los que se contratan
servicios digitales en el extranjero de acuerdo al criterio de conexión de
“utilización económica en el país”. Para lograr ello, se utilizará como base la
Resolución del Tribunal Fiscal No. 0570-9-2021, en la cual se discute si ciertos
servicios digitales contratados a favor de una sucursal ubicada en el exterior,
cuya matriz está domiciliada en el Perú, deben ser considerados como utilizados
económicamente en el país, generando de esa manera la obligación de retener
el Impuesto a la Renta que se generase.
El enfoque de este análisis será identificar cuándo un servicio, aunque prestado
en el exterior, puede o no considerarse como utilizado en beneficio del desarrollo
de una actividad económica en el Perú, haciendo un mayor énfasis en el
escenario donde existe una relación matriz-sucursal. En ese escenario se deberá
analizar si el servicio a favor de una podría o no causar un beneficio en la otra.
Asimismo, se examinará la aplicación de la presunción contenida en el artículo
4-A del Reglamento de la Ley del Impuesto a la Renta, y si esta puede o no
admitir prueba en contrario.
En esa línea, se emplearán normas del sistema tributario, así como doctrina y
jurisprudencia nacional. Finalmente, se contrastarán los argumentos elaborados
por el contribuyente, la Administración Tributaria y el Tribunal Fiscal a fin de
evaluar si estos fueron o no adecuados.
The purpose of this legal report is to conduct a technical analysis regarding the determination of Peruvian-source income in cases involving the procurement of digital services from abroad, pursuant to the nexus criterion of “economic use within the country.” To that end, the analysis is based on Tax Court Resolution No. 0570-9-2021, which addresses whether certain digital services contracted in favor of a branch located outside of Peru, whose parent company is domiciled in Peru, should be deemed to have been economically utilized within the country, thereby triggering an obligation to withhold Income Tax. This analysis focuses on identifying under what circumstances a service, though rendered abroad, may be considered as economically used for the benefit of business activities carried out in Peru, with particular emphasis on the parent– branch relationship. In such cases, it is necessary to assess whether a service rendered to one entity may produce an indirect benefit to the other. Additionally, the application of the rebuttable presumption established in Article 4-A of the Regulations of the Income Tax Law will be examined, particularly as to whether it may be challenged through contrary evidence. In this context, the analysis will rely on domestic tax legislation as well as relevant doctrine and jurisprudence. Finally, the reasoning put forward by the taxpayer, the Tax Administration, and the Tax Court will be critically assessed in order to determine whether their interpretations were legally sound.
