The Tax Agency (DGII) announced a strong start to the fiscal year, reporting total collections of RD$94.75 billion for January 2026. This figure represents an 11% year-over-year increase compared to the same month in 2025, when collections stood at RD$85.33 billion.
The agency’s performance exceeded the targets set in the National Budget by 2.6%, bringing in RD$2.43 billion more than originally projected for the month.
According to the official report, the DGII’s contribution accounted for 81.2% of the State’s total tax revenue for January. Several key sectors and specific taxes drove the surplus:
• Value Added Tax (ITBIS): Revenue from ITBIS reached RD$25.14 billion, a 14.8% increase over the previous year. This growth was largely attributed to a rise in taxed sales within the commerce, services, and hospitality (hotels and restaurants) sectors.
• Income Tax (ISR): Collections from individuals rose by 13,2% to RD$14.50 billion, while corporate income tax and asset taxes contributed RD$13.14 billion, growing by 6.7%.
• Mining and Extraordinary Income: The agency noted that high gold prices significantly boosted mining-related revenues. When excluding extraordinary one-time payments, the underlying organic growth of the month’s collection remained steady at 5%.
The DGII attributed the successful month to a combination of favorable economic conditions in key industries and ongoing efforts to improve tax compliance and administrative efficiency.
