The IRS is prohibited from requesting solemnities or formalities that the law does not require for the relevant act, contract or operation. For the IRS to disregard the information provided by the taxpayer, based on that the information provided is not reliable, the IRS must issue a well-based resolution, which may be challenged by the taxpayer through a tax claim.
The catalog of taxpayers’ rights is reformulated, reinforcing those that relate to the right to information, the recognition of the principle of good faith and respect to the principle of legality.

The requirement to obtain authorization from the IRS is eliminated for capital reductions.
The IRS powers to authorize or require the taxpayer to use technological information systems to keep accounts and records are regulated and limited.
