Tax Agency (DGII) director Magín Díaz is proud of the increase in tax collections his department is generating for the Medina administration. Díaz, upon taking the job in June 2016, had said that adding new taxes was not necessary if a reduction of tax evasion could be secured. He has delivered on his promise.
Díaz says RD$152.5 billion has been collected from January to April 2018. That is RD$5 billion more than what had been budgeted and around 16% more than the revenues for 2017. He said tax collections were up 26% in January 2018 because of the windfall of the taxes on the change of ownership of the Presidente brewery.
Diaz spoke upon inaugurating a new DGII office at Av. Abraham Lincoln almost corner Av. Gustavo Mejía Ricart. He said the new office is to make it easier for taxpayers to meet their obligations. The new office will serve taxpayers that previously were served by the San Carlos office that are located in Evaristo Morales, Piantini, Fernández, Serallés, Paraiso and Julieta Morales city areas.
The DGII says it has recently remodeled or opened new offices in Bonao, San Cristóbal, San Juan de la Maguana, La Vega, Santiago, La Romana, Las Terrenas (Samaná) and Neyba (Bahoruco).
