An Overview on Dominican Tax Law
| |
| Taxation in the Dominican Republic is governed by Law No. 11-92 of May 31, 1992, commonly known as the Tax Code (“Código Tributario”), its amendments and regulations (“Reglamentos”). This overview is a brief summary of the Tax Code’s most relevant provisions. All references in parentheses refer to articles in the Tax Code unless otherwise specified.
Taxes are collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (“Dirección General de Impuestos Internos”or DGII), an autonomous government entity which may also issue its own regulations (“Normas”).
Dominican income tax law is primarily territorial. All income derived from work or business activities in the Dominican Republic is taxable, no matter if the person is a Dominican, a resident foreigner or a nonresident foreigner (Articles 269 and 270). |

The Dominican Corporation
| |
| The most common business entity in the Dominican Republic is the corporation, locally called “Sociedad Anónima” (S.A.) or “Compañía por Acciones” (C. por A.). As corporations in other countries, Dominican corporations are legal persons which exist independently of its shareholders. Likewise, the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their contribution to the corporation.
The Dominican Commercial Code provides for the existence of other business entities such as partnerships (“sociedad en nombre colectivo”), limited partnerships(“sociedadesencomandita”)and joint ventures (“sociedades en participación”). These structures, however, are seldom used because they are subject to the same tax treatment as corporations while lacking its limited liability component. |
