The Dominican Republic's DGII collected RD$515,380.2 million in the first half of 2026, surpassing the budget target of RD$502,583.8 million by 2.5% and recording a 9.1% year-over-year increase.

Key tax drivers

• ITBIS (value-added tax) led growth with RD$20,900.2 million collected in June, a 20.1% rise year-over-year, driven by a 6.7% increase in taxable sales in hotels, restaurants, and vehicles Source: hoydo, diariolibree.
• Corporate income tax contributed RD$15,166.6 million (up 8.8%) and personal income tax RD$11,976.6 million (up 12.9%), reflecting more taxpayers and higher withholdings Source: eldiado, diariolibree.
• Selective taxes on fuels generated RD$7,438.8 million (up 10.1%), while alcohol and tobacco taxes added RD$2,944.9 million (up 8.9%) Source: elcaribedr, hoydo.

Implications

The DGII's performance reinforces fiscal stability, providing the government with additional resources for public spending and investment. The agency contributed 75% of total state revenue in June Source: hoydo, eldiado. All sources concur on the headline figures, with a single discrepancy: one article incorrectly stated a 12.9% growth for personal income tax compared to June 2026 (should be June 2025) Source: eldiado.
