Many people will not know what a detraction is. For this reason, in this article we explain everything you need to know about the Steps and Requirements to Open Detraction Accounts.
Before we start talking about the requirements, we want to explain What is a detraction and what is it for?
What is a deduction account?
According to the exact concept, a deduction in tax terms is the amount or percentage deducted by the person purchasing a good or beneficiary of a service.
This amount must be deposited in a private account authorized by the bank in the name of the service provider or seller.
Namely, It is a system to avoid tax evasion and guarantees the payment of taxes in sectors with a high degree of tax evasion.
- It consists of generating an early discount when paying a supplier for a product or service.
First, the advance discount is generated at the time of paying the supplier. That amount is then deposited into an account in the provider’s name. The goal is that this fund is used for the provider to later comply with its tax obligations.
- EXAMPLE:
How is that? Keep reading…
The value of commercial exchange amounts to 9% for the fishing sector. That is, 450 soles of deduction of the 5 thousand soles of sale. The company will pay the difference, which is 4,550 soles, to the supplier and deposits the deduction in an account in the name of the supplier at Banco de la Nación.
When the deposit in the bank has been made, the company must give a deduction receipt to the supplier.
- The percentage of deductions varies with respect to the item.
IMPORTANT:
- The company that is obliged to withdraw and does not do so, has a fine.
Why is a detraction so essential?
Simple. Because its implementation is a support base that offers the possibility to the taxpayer to face the tax obligations, in this way, to avoid any lack or default of payment later on.
Facilitating that this does not accumulate and is later difficult to cancel.

- One of the few DISADVANTAGES that this system has is that it restricts the use of the fiscal credit in stages in which the receipt is established, that is, if an individual who has the obligation to deduct and fails to do so, automatically loses his tax credit.
REMEMBER:
exist two ways to make the deposit:
- 1.- By ticket office at the National Bank.
- 2.- Online on the website of the SUNAT and indicating the bank with which it has an agreement.
The buyer gives the supplier the balance to be paid and a copy of the Deposit Certificate. Then the supplier notes in the proof of deduction deposit the data of the invoice issued for the good or service provided.
The supplier declares the IGV and pays the tax via the ticket office or the Internet or the buyer declares and pays the IGV and will deduct the tax credit.
As we said before, if the deduction is not made, there may be a sanction. In the event that the deposit is not made, you could be creditor to a fine that is 50% of the amount not deposited.
- The payment of the deposit must be made until the date of partial or total payment to the service provider or within 5 business days of the month following the entry of the payment receipt.
- If the provider receives all the payment, the provider has five business days after receiving the total amount of the operation to carry out the procedure before the Sunat.
Now that you know very well what a detraction is and how it works, we will explain what you must present and how you must do to open your detractions account.
