Seeking information on the new tax requirements
Reclama la IP orientación en materia fiscal[+] Ver mas
Business owners are asking the Federal Ministry of Finance for information and clarification on the requirements that will begin on January first under the tax reform REPECO (Régimen de Pequeños Comercios) for small businesses. Business leaders say there is a "sea of doubts" concerning the new requirements and business owners are asking the federal government for guidance. A jewelry store owner said they also have questions about the ceilings for cash purchases that have been imposed to reduce money laundering. At the end of the article, it mentions legislators granting a year of zero contribution to new businesses, but it is unclear to me if that is part of the reform or under consideration.

ZAPATOS PARA LOS NINOS   Shoes for the Children Annual Christmas Party and Shoe Drive
        December is here, and we are collecting shoes and donations for our annual Christmas Party and shoe delivery.  Last year every child that came for shoes walked away with a new pair for Christmas!
This is the one time of year we only collect new shoes in order to make each child feel extra special.
Not only do we distribute shoes, but we join with the local community to provide a meal and a small gift. It is a special event, as for some of the children, it will be their only Christmas gift. They are already looking forward to it on December 24th.
If you would like to donate shoes, please contact Greg Snider at: bullridersnider@yahoo.com

If you would like to contribute monies so we can purchase shoes, food, or small toys, please also contact Greg at the email address above or go to our website for Pay Pal http://www.islazapatos.blogspot.mx/   We will happily send you photos of the children who receive your gifts.   Greg and Natalie

November-December 2013...Amigos of Isla Contoy doing environmental workshops teaching students about reusing, recycling, repurposing; about identifying materials that can be used to create useful or beautiful objects. While discussing the importance of the three R's, they taught the importance of saving bottles, plastic, cans, cardboard, newpaper, etc for your creations. 
Se fomentó entre los niños y adultos la cultura del reciclaje enseñándolos a reutilizar el material de desecho de sus casas o escuelas para crear objetos utilitarios. Aprendierón a identificar los materiales que se pueden reusar y la manera de utilizarlos. Se les informo acerca de la importancia de las tres erres y se les pidió que guarden sus botellas, plásticos, latas, cajas de cartón, periódico, etc.. para la elaboración de sus manualidades. Noviembre a Diciembre 2013.
