Last Friday, the General Directorate of Internal Taxes held the International Seminar on “Experiences of the control process in the tax administrations of the region”.

This activity, framed within the commemoration of the institution’s fifteenth anniversary was held at the Central Bank’s Salome Ureña Auditorium and was headed by the General Director of the DGII, Mr. Juan Hernández, with the participation of over 150 officials of the institution.

In his opening statement, Mr. Hernández highlighted the institution’s achievements which have turned it into a modern, exemplary and referential organization at the international level. For this reason, the President of the Republic, Dr. Leonel Fernandez Reyna recently presented it the Duarte, Sánchez y Mella Merit Award in the Great Silver Plate Cross Rank, for its outstanding meritorious services and on occasion of the commemoration of its 15 years of creation.

“Within this brief period of time and in spite of interruptions and setbacks, the DGII has become a modern, efficient, reliable and transparent organization. A short while back, Oscar Vásquez, the expert Resident for the Internal Tax Administrations of the Regional Technical Assistance Center for Central America, Panama and the Dominican Republic (CAPTAC) presented a comparative study on the status of the Latin American Tax Administrations and pointed out 14 aspects that afford the DGII a preferential position”.

Two important dissertations were presented at this International Seminar. One of the speakers, Mr. Carlos Marx Carrasco, General Director of the Internal Revenue Service (SRI) of Ecuador gave an account of the “Process of modernization of the TA of Ecuador with emphasis on tax control”, while the topic of the presentation by Mr. Márcio Verdi, Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT) was “The tax control processes implemented in the Tax Administrations.
