The Dominican Republic Tax Authority (DGII) in October 2025 issued Notice No. 22-2025 (Spanish), clarifying the application of the territorial income tax system for tax residents.

Under the territorial system, tax residents are taxed on Dominican-source income and certain foreign-source investment earnings. Foreign-source income becomes taxable only starting from the third year of residence.
