Dominican businessman Celso Marranzini says that the fiscal burden that the Dominican government has imposed on its taxpayers is 33% and not the 14% official stat.
The former president of the National Business Council (CONEP) and general manager of the Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) says: “When one looks at all the productive sectors, we figure the tax burden is around 30-33%.” He proposes major changes to taxation for a more fairly distributed tax burden. He says the 10 tax code reforms over the past 10 years have been carried out to compensate for budgetary deficits caused by increasing government spending.
