Optional System

Some places call it 'optional regime' but I'm always a bit wary of using 'regime'.

There is also an optional simplified regime on income from lucrative activities with rates ranging from 5% and 6% in 2013 and from 5-7% starting 2014.

Guatemala (tax rate = 31% or 5%)
The Guatemalan corporate income tax system is based on the territoriality principle; all Guatemalan-source income is taxed. It is the choice of the taxpayer to be taxed at a 5 percent rate on gross income (the general system) or 31 percent rate on taxable income (the optional system). Under the optional system, corporate income tax is paid annually but quarterly advance payments are required. Under the general system, corporate income tax is paid on a monthly basis.

Optional Regime

Unlike Helena, I'm usually quite happy to talk about "tax regime", as its the term I've been familiar with all my working life. Which is really my only reason for posting this, rather than an out-and-out "agree".

Perhaps in the US, "tax system" is the preferred term, but I don't know about that.
