ECUAWIKI › HOW-TO GUIDES › SRI ECUADOR&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI) is Ecuador&amp;#039;s national tax collection authority — equivalent to the IRS in the USA or HMRC in the UK. It administers income tax, value-added tax (VAT/IVA), and tax registration for businesses and individuals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Main Functions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Administering the RUC (taxpayer registration) — see [[RUC &amp;amp; RISE]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Collecting VAT (IVA — Impuesto al Valor Agregado), currently 15% on most goods and services&lt;br /&gt;
* Collecting income tax (Impuesto a la Renta)&lt;br /&gt;
* Processing tax returns and refunds&lt;br /&gt;
* Auditing businesses and individuals&lt;br /&gt;
* Managing the RISE simplified regime for small earners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Online Services (sri.gob.ec) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much of what you need to do with the SRI can be handled online at their official website:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Register for or update your RUC&lt;br /&gt;
* File monthly VAT declarations (if applicable)&lt;br /&gt;
* Submit annual income tax returns&lt;br /&gt;
* Download invoices and tax receipts&lt;br /&gt;
* Check outstanding balances and payment history&lt;br /&gt;
* Access electronic billing (facturación electrónica) tools&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Electronic Invoice System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ecuador has a comprehensive electronic invoicing requirement. All registered businesses must issue official electronic invoices (facturas electrónicas) through the SRI system for every transaction. This system has substantially formalized Ecuador&amp;#039;s economy. As a consumer, you have the right to receive an official factura for any purchase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Local SRI Office ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nearest SRI office to the Santa Elena Peninsula is located in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;La Libertad&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. In-person visits are required for some procedures (original RUC registration, resolving discrepancies). Bring your original documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hours: Typically Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (verify locally as hours may change).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Taxes Most Relevant to Expats ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Income Tax&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; — applies to worldwide income for residents; foreign-sourced income may be exempt depending on circumstances. An Ecuadorian tax professional can advise.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;IVA (VAT)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; — paid automatically on most purchases at 15%&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Capital Gains (Plusvalía)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; — applies on property sales; see [[Property Taxes Ecuador]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Rental Income&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; — rental income is taxable; landlords should register with RUC or RISE&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
