WTO | Information Technology Agreement

WTO | 2006 News items - The Dominican Republic joins WTO's Information Technology Agreement

As of 2006, the Dominican Republic joined the ITA WTO organization in order to attract growth and technology to the country. This means it cannot charge any taxes or duties on computing or telecom goods.

That means what was normally 20% tax and 16% IBTS, is now just 16%.

Dont let anyone tax you on computing goods. They pocket the money and its illegal.

Thanks very much Robert. Looks definite to me now.

Seems a lot of people are being pushed into paying the 20% on top of that. Looks like we found out once and for all anyway. Thanks for your help.
