About this procedure
The Ley Orgánica de Drogas requires private companies, consortiums and public entities with 50 or more employees to pay a contribution to the Fondo Nacional Antidrogas, FONA. The contribution is 1% of the year's profit or operating income, and it goes up to 2% for those who manufacture or import alcoholic beverages or tobacco. It's filed and paid within the 60 calendar days following the fiscal year-end. If the company closed the year at a loss, the return is still filed, even with no contribution to pay.
Many people find out too late: reaching 50 employees at any point in the year is enough to be required to pay, and anyone who doesn't file on time faces a fine of twice the contribution, and three times for repeat offenders. On top of that, since 2025 FONA has been running a new version of its online platform, SIGAT, so you need to be registered there with your details and documents in order.
We check whether your company is required to pay, register or update you on the FONA platform, calculate the contribution from your financial statements, prepare the return and leave you the payment form ready to pay within the deadline. The price starts at $120 and is adjusted to the size of your company. A lawyer reviews your case and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
