Buenas tardes,

Desafortunadamente, el término que consulto solo aparece en una lista de documentos por lo que me di a la tarea de buscar la definición de dicho término.

A continuación el texto:

Es de vital importancia definir el **acta de cargos**, que es un instrumento administrativo que contiene el informe definitivo de la auditoría fiscal realizada y resulta, de las conclusiones derivadas del estudio objetivo y técnico al informe preliminar. Para fines de formalismos legales, el Acta de Cargos debe estar suscrita por el Administrador de Rentas de la jurisdicción, todo con fundamento en el Arto. 147 CTr., 2do párrafo.

notice of objection


Explanation:
I checked the legal provision referred to in the Nicaraguan Tax Code (artículo 147 del Código Tributario, 2º párrafo), and it says the following:

"Acción Fiscalizadora

Artículo 147.- La Administración Tributaria ejercerá su acción fiscalizadora a través de sus órganos de fiscalización debidamente acreditados.

Los reparos, ajustes, imposición de sanciones, modificaciones y sus respectivas notificaciones deberán ser firmados por los titulares de las respectivas dependencias autorizadas para tal efecto."


It relates to the fact that objections, adjustments, penalties and amendments have to be signed by persons or entities that are authorized to do so within the context of tax audits. I've found a similar term in Spanish: pliego de cargos

This is translated by the Official Journal of the European Union as "statement of objections." See the below links:

Spanish version: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:...
English version: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:...

Here in Canada, the equivalent document would be the "Notice of Objection." You would file this with the tax authority in case of a disagreement with the findings of a tax audit. A taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative can sign the document. Here is an example of it: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pbg/t400...

I assume that within the Nicaraguan context, this "notice of objection" would also contain the final report of the tax audit that was carried out. In addition, it would be filed as a result of the findings from the "objective and technical analysis to the preliminary report."

In the US, they refer to it as a "protest" -- see https://www.irs.gov/appeals/preparing-a-request-for-appeals

It varies from country to country, but I would say that "notice of objection" or "statement of objections" would work.

Does this fit the context of your text?

After re-reading the legal provisions of the Nicaraguan Tax Code, I see that it relates to the objections, penalties, amendments, etc. that the Nicaraguan tax authority would handle.

In this case, you could consider "Notice of Assessment" as well (this is the name of the document here in Canada, which is issued to you whenever you file your taxes or after a tax audit has been completed.) This "Notice of Assessment" would provide you with all the findings of the tax audit.

neutral  AllegroTrans: Your ref. material is fine, but I think this is the original notice telling the taxpayer that there is overdue tax to pay

  -> Yes, you are right. The name of this kind of notice can vary a lot from country to country, so I think the more precise terms that Adrian suggested are spot on.

The 'cargos' suggests it is not a staright 'Tax Audit (BrE: Inspection) Result'-

Example sentence(s):
  • USA: A Notice of Deficiency, also known as an IRS 90-day letter, can be stressful. It is important to determine steps that can circumvent the reoccurrence of a tax audit.
  • una notificación del Acta de Cargo donde se le informa a la empresa, sobre la reversión de los saldos a favor, tanto del IR como del IVA por los períodos auditados, así como los saldos a pagar con el correspondiente 25% d

agree  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: Notice of Deficiency, yes, nice one. Here in Canada, they only issue a "notice of assessment," regardless of whether there is a deficiency or not. "Post-Tax Audit Notice of Deficiency" is definitely more precise.

  -> Thaks. Your note added of 'notice of assessment' came close to my slightly different - and taxpayer-burdened - version.
