Accountants & Tax in Puerto Plata: common questions

Do I have to pay Dominican taxes if I'm a foreign resident?
It depends on your residency status and where your income comes from. Dominican tax law generally treats foreign-sourced income differently for new residents in the first years of residency, while local income, like rental income from a DR property or a local business, is taxed here regardless. An accountant can review your specific income sources and confirm what applies.
What is the DGII and do I need to deal with it?
DGII, the Direccion General de Impuestos Internos, is the Dominican tax authority. If you own a business, rent out property, or hold certain residency categories, you will likely need to register with the DGII and file returns. An accountant can handle registration and ongoing filings so you are not navigating the online system in Spanish on your own.
How does property tax (IPI) work?
IPI is an annual tax on real estate above a certain exempt value, set by the DGII, and separate from the one-time 3% transfer tax paid at purchase. Thresholds and rules can change, so an accountant or lawyer can confirm the current threshold and calculate what you owe based on your property's assessed value.
Can an accountant help with rental income from a property here?
Yes, this is one of the more common reasons expats hire a local accountant. Rental income earned in the DR generally needs to be reported and taxed here, whether you rent short-term to tourists or long-term to residents. An accountant can set up proper bookkeeping and handle the filings so you stay compliant without micromanaging it yourself.
How often do I need to file, and what records should I keep?
Filing frequency depends on your situation, business owners often file monthly, while individuals may file annually. Keep receipts, invoices, and bank records organized year-round rather than scrambling at filing time. An accountant can set up a simple system suited to your situation, whether that is a rental property, a small business, or just personal income.
