Under Luis Valdez’s management, the DGII reached or exceeded the collection goal for 64 consecutive months

The collection goals set each year by the Ministry of Finance to the collecting entities were met or exceeded for 64 consecutive months, that is, 5 years and three months in the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII), during the administration of the outgoing director Luis Valdez Veras.

This collection achievement is not only a milestone for the DGII, but also for the other state collectors, since it is not always possible, for various reasons, to reach the goal that is set for it.

That goal is set based on the estimate that serves as a reference for the elaboration of the General State Budget, and according to different economic variables such as the average price during the year of oil, and other commodities, the dollar, global, regional and country economic growth, among others.  

In the last five years, the State’s collections via the DGII went from RD$483,094 million collected in 2019 to RD$913,144 million collected in 2025.

This growth in revenue collected by the DGII reflects the accumulated growth of the Dominican economy during those years, and the efficiency of that institution so that the State benefits from them, obtaining more resources to invest in development, public services and social welfare. 

The DGII collects 75.6% of the State’s resources, while the General Customs Directorate contributed 21.9% of the collection and the National Treasury the remaining 2.1%.

In the first eleven months of 2025, the State’s revenues from the tax collection offices stand at RD$1,096,792.1 million, this represents a growth of 1.1%; RD$11,951.9 million more compared to January – November 2024. The fulfillment of the collection target compared to the estimate is 97.6%.
