Abinader highlights Customs will implement customs tax payments with credit cards

The President of the Republic, Luis Abinader, announced in his accountability speech that the General Customs Directorate (DGA) is working on a project so that the payment of taxes and customs fees can also be made with debit and credit cards.

“This measure simplifies the lives of our SMEs, expanding the channels to comply in an agile, simple and transparent manner, reducing friction, time and costs, as the DGII is already accepting,” highlighted the Head of State in his address to the National Assembly.

In that sense, the DGA initiated a pilot payment in the different administrations and airports of the country. Likewise, in the coming months the entity will launch the SIGA/Web payments.

In addition to these, pin payments are also included, and can be made with all credit cards from the complete ecosystem of banks in the Dominican Republic.

“Because simplifying is also democratizing. And just as we modernize procedures and digitize services, we also transform the way the State communicates, educates, and projects our values,” the president reaffirmed.
