Integration of SAREN and SENIAT platforms
Both agencies will integrate their platforms to simplify procedures and payments. According to the country’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, “the objective of this platform integration is that ‘when a procedure is carried out at SAREN, it is immediately incorporated into SENIAT.'”
