Dominican Tax Agency Nears November Goal, Exceeds Year-to-Date Target

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – The nation's tax agency nearly met its collection target for November 2025, bringing in 66,602.7 million Dominican pesos, while exceeding its overall goal for the first eleven months of the year, authorities reported.

The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) announced that November 2025 collections achieved 99.6% of the revised target. This fell short of the government's adjusted budget goal by 287.9 million pesos.

While the November 2025 figure marked a 5,267.7 million peso decrease compared to November 2024, the DGII attributed this primarily to an extraordinary capital gain of 11,208.3 million pesos recorded in corporate income tax during the prior year.

Excluding this and other extraordinary revenues, corporate income tax collections actually grew by 28.3%, or 2,777.7 million pesos, compared to the same month last year. Factoring out all extraordinary income from both 2024 and 2025, total collections showed a 9.2% year-over-year increase, adding 5,548.0 million pesos.

For the cumulative January-November period of 2025, the DGII reported total collections of 832,813.7 million pesos. This surpassed the established goal by 1,229.0 million pesos, achieving 100.1% of the accumulated target.

These year-to-date figures represent a 7.2% increase over the same period in 2024, amounting to an additional 55,861.8 million pesos.

DGII collection offices were responsible for 74% of the total revenue generated last November.

Among the major tax categories, the Tax on the Transfer of Industrialized Goods and Services (ITBIS) generated 17,564.9 million pesos in November 2025, a 3.1% year-over-year increase. This growth, which added 527.5 million pesos, was supported by an 8.1% increase in overall sales, despite a 1.1% decline in taxable sales.

Corporate Income and Asset Tax collections reached 12,610.8 million pesos during the same month.

Personal Income Tax saw significant growth, bringing in 10,433.7 million pesos, a 16.4% increase or 1,471.6 million pesos more than November 2024. This surge was largely fueled by a 17.9% rise in taxes on salaried income.

The selective tax on fuels contributed 6,283.5 million pesos, while taxes on alcohol and tobacco accounted for 2,605.1 million pesos. Other taxes collectively generated 17,104.7 million pesos, completing the institution's total November collections.
