The National Organization of Shopping Malls (ONEC) says that the tax burden for those who pay taxes in the Dominican Republic is very high. Ernesto Martinez, spokesman for ONEC, warned there are “serious problems” with the way that the tax burden is calculated, which makes it appear that the taxation burden in the DR is below average compared to other countries in the region. Economist Miguel Collado of the Regional Center for Sustainable Economic Strategies (CREES) said that Dominicans pay more than other DR-CAFTA signatory countries.
