DGII has collected RD$472,000 million in the first half of 2025

The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) reported that at the close of the first half of 2025, it has achieved a cumulative collection of RD$472,172.1 million, which represents a fulfillment of 101.3% compared to the estimate and an increase of RD$40,231.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This year-on-year growth of 9.3% reaffirms the institutional commitment to collection efficiency, transparency, and the strengthening of public finances. This performance is achieved in a context of economic consolidation, with clear signs of dynamism in key sectors, improvements in the formalization of productive activities, and significant advances in voluntary tax compliance by taxpayers. "These results are evidence of the joint effort between the DGII and Dominican taxpayers. We are focused on building a more efficient, fair, and modern tax system that allows the country's development to be achieved," said the General Director, Luis Valdez Veras. During the month of June, the DGII collected a total of RD$70,567.6 million, exceeding the projection for that month by RD$1,502.1 million, with a compliance of 102.2%. Compared to June 2024, this represents an absolute growth of RD$8,805.7 million, equivalent to a year-on-year variation of 14.3%. Even after discounting income considered extraordinary —such as capital gains, income from large taxpayers, or specific regularizations—, monthly growth remained robust, with an expansion of 13.1%, demonstrating a structural and sustained trend in the recurring revenue base.

Performance by tax type

•       ITBIS: When analyzing the behavior of the operations corresponding to May, declared during the month of June, an year-on-year growth of 6.7% is observed in total sales and 4.4% in taxable sales. The increase in taxable sales was mainly driven by the sectors of Commerce (excluding fuels and vehicles), with a growth of 4.5%; Hotels, Bars and Restaurants with 10.3% and the activity of Beverage Production with 8.0%

Corporate Income Tax and Assets: Corporate Income Tax registered a year-on-year growth of 17.0%, representing an absolute increase of RD$1,989.9 million. • Personal Income Tax: Growth driven primarily by the Income Tax on Employees, which shows a growth of 16.5%; RD$1,090.2 million more compared to June 2024. The above is explained by the increase in both the number of taxed employees and the amount withheld of 8.7% and 11.4%, respectively. • Selective Taxes on Fuels: The Specific Tax experienced a growth of RD$110.2 million, representing an increase of 2.6%.

Institutional Commitment

This performance reflects the institutional efforts to continue strengthening tax administration, optimizing inspection processes, modernizing the digital services offered to taxpayers, and promoting a culture of voluntary and transparent compliance.
