Dominican Republic tax reforms and revenue growth

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, the Dominican Republic’s Directorate General of Internal Taxes (DGII) introduced Law 30‑26, a fiscal package designed to boost investment and formalize the informal sector. The law caps late‑payment surcharges at 3%, offers a tax‑amnesty scheme for arrears until 31 December 2026, and lowers rates on capital‑gain income, company formation, and mortgages.

A week later, the DGII reported that four taxes—ITBIS, personal income tax, corporate income tax, and asset tax—accounted for 62% of total collections in the first half of 2026, totaling 515.38 million pesos.

By August 2026, the DGII confirmed that July 2026 collections reached RD$81,475.1 million, a 6.5% year‑on‑year increase that exceeded the revised budget goal of RD$79,644.0 million by RD$1,831.1 million, representing a “102.31% compliance rate.” This growth was primarily driven by ITBIS, which generated RD$20,123.7 million (up 17.1%), and Personal Income Tax, which contributed RD$10,910.6 million (up 18.7%) due to more taxed employees and higher withholdings.

For the period of January to July 2026, total collections amounted to RD$596,864.7 million, an 8.8% increase over the same period in 2025. During July, the DGII accounted for 69.5% of the state's total tax revenue.
