Dominican Tax Agency Projects Record RD 913 Billion Revenue for 2025

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – The Dominican Republic's tax agency, the Dirección General de Impuestos Internos (DGII), projects it will close 2025 with accumulated revenues exceeding RD 913.14 billion, reflecting a 7.9% increase over 2024 figures.

\n

This projected sum represents 100.9% of the goal set by the reformulated budget, surpassing the estimate by RD 8.34 billion.

\n

For December alone, the DGII forecasts collections of RD 80.33 billion, a 15.5% rise compared to December 2024 and RD 10.82 billion more than the previous year. This monthly figure signifies a 109.7% fulfillment of the target, exceeding estimates by RD 7.11 billion.

\n

Commenting on these figures, DGII Director General Luis Valdez Veras stated that the results underscore stronger tax administration and the effectiveness of strategies designed to encourage voluntary compliance, enhance control processes, and advance institutional modernization.

Additional Achievements

\n

In 2025, the DGII processed RD 2.25 billion in payments for 9,017 low-cost housing bonds. These bonds benefited an equal number of families, aligning with the social policies of President Luis Abinader's administration.

\n

Another significant accomplishment was the reduction of ITBIS (value-added tax) evasion to a historic low of 36.5%. A joint report by the DGII and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlighted this achievement, attributing it to increased formalization among taxpayers and improved efficiency, transparency, and modernization within the tax administration.

Electronic Invoicing Progress

\n

The agency also reported significant strides in electronic invoicing, with 15,616 electronic invoicing taxpayers registered. Of these, 6,677 utilize the free invoicing tool, and 7,814 are undergoing certification.

\n

During the period, more than 1.33 billion electronic tax receipts were issued, supported by 112 authorized electronic invoicing service providers.

\n

In April 2025, the DGII launched the \"Request Your Electronic Invoice and Win\" contest to promote tax culture and the use of electronic tax receipts (e-CFs). Between April and December, 36 drawings were held, awarding RD 5.1 million in prizes to 71 winners. Over 355,000 invoices from 1,451 electronic issuers were registered for the contest.

Inter-institutional Alliances

\n

Among its 2025 achievements, the DGII partnered with Banco de Reservas to introduce a new credit card payment option for taxes. This initiative expands payment choices for taxpayers and promotes financial inclusion through more agile and secure services.

\n\n

Tax Scoring System

\n

Also in 2025, the DGII extended its "Scoring Tributario" (Tax Scoring) risk management tool to include large local taxpayers. For this pioneering regional initiative, which classifies taxpayers by risk level, the institution received an Honorable Mention in the 2025 National Public Innovation Award.

\n\n

Formalization and Digital Transformation

\n

To formalize small and medium taxpayers, the DGII incorporated 4,567 new contributors into the Simplified Tax Regime (RST) between January and December 2025. This regime aims to simplify and reduce the indirect compliance costs for liberal professionals, micro, and small businesses.

\n

In its ongoing digital transformation, the DGII added nine new features and enhancements to its \"DGII Móvil\" mobile application. These improvements enable taxpayers to conduct transactions more quickly and securely from their mobile devices.
