Proposed bill to charge taxes on items through courier at a value below 200 dollars.
It was like this that "only rich People" used this service but not anymore. Today there are dozens of this forwarder companies with many clients.
Almost everybody has a Debit Card today and is purchasing online. Having this said; i personally would not mind paying ITBIS on all my Shipments.
Not sure what the property taxes will be.
If people come to value your house its a great opportuniuty for them to take a propina for lower value.
Is the taxon the house, or house and property total value??
If the annual taxes are 1% of the value, a ,10,000,000 value is low , so many people including old retired people will have to pay about 12,000 peso a month extra . Thats pertty tough when everything is more expensive.

They value it based on what you paid for it when you bought it, the sale contract is filed at Hacienda and they are the ones who declare the values. If you bought without finance, your lawyer may have declared a low value. But if you bought with finance there will have been a valuation involved and the bank will have recorded the true valuation.
For Europeans there are interesting options.
We visit Tenerife several times a year. Cheaper, organised and your are within de EU.
Peppercorns and ground pepper can be found just about everywhere here on the north coast. Playero and others also sell peppercorns in their own grinder.
Not true, the value DGII has for every property is the cadastral value and DGII updates it every year, and it has nothing to do with what you have paid for it (what was in the contract). You can see it in your Oficina Virtual on their site under Inmuebles tab. The cadastral value is lower than the real market value, that may depend on the property, but on my properties it was always about 70% of the real market value.
I think that's true for land, but are you sure it works that way for condos and houses? Is there any way to go on line and see the assessed value of your property?
For my last property it was even less than that. I was worried they made a mistake until the agrimensor who valued mine for BPD explained it all to me.
Yes I am sure. You register on https://dgii.gov.do/ (Oficina Virtual -> Solicitar Clave) with your cedula number or RNC (if you bought a property without being a resident or citizen and used your foreign passport, they should assign RNC number to you) and after you register there, you'll be able to see your properties, your vehicles, your tax obligations and your debts (if any).
The property was purchased using a passport. Any idea where the RNC number would be?
In your property title probably? And how did you pay the transfer tax before you got your title? To pay it, you need either a cedula number or RNC, because DGII's system doesn't accept any passport numbers, so they had to assign the RNC to you.
If Registro de Tutulos put your passport number in your title instead of RNC, then go to the nearest DGII office with your property title, they will tell you what your RNC is.
Ok, thanks. My lawyer paid the transfer tax. I have a copy of the receipt, but no RNC number on it. Only a passport number on the title. Guess I'll have to go to DGII.
Just go there with the title, they will search by the property/title number, not by your name or passport number.
