DGII reports 8.5% increase in tax revenue for 2026

The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) reported a significant increase in tax collection during the first eight months of 2026, totaling 671,866 million pesos. This represents an 8.5% growth compared to the same period in 2025.

In August 2026 alone, revenue reached 75,007.8 million pesos, a 6.6% increase from the previous year. When excluding extraordinary income, August's collection grew by 11.2%. Key contributors included the ITBIS, which rose by 10.5% to 20,559.6 million pesos, and selective fuel taxes, which saw a 29.3% increase.

This revenue growth occurs alongside the implementation of an anti-crisis plan. As part of this initiative, the government has increased the corporate income tax rate to 30% for three years for large taxpayers with annual incomes exceeding 1,000 million pesos.
