Starting January 1, 2026, businesses in Ecuador will be required to immediately transmit sales receipts, withholding documents, and supplementary documents to the Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI). This requirement is established by resolution 14 from June 30, 2025, and its amendment through resolution 17 from July 30 of the same year.
According to SRI, this change is part of the government’s efforts to modernize the tax system. The goal is to strengthen transparency and make it easier for taxpayers to comply with their obligations. The measure supports a more agile and digital tax model that improves tracking of commercial transactions involving goods and services.
Authorities say immediate electronic transmission will simplify processes and improve tax control. It also aims to reduce errors in declarations while increasing security for both taxpayers and consumers.
SRI has encouraged taxpayers to prepare and validate their billing systems ahead of the deadline. The agency notes that its in-person and telephone support channels remain available for questions or assistance.
“The National Government reaffirms its commitment to a modern tax administration that is close to citizens’ needs, encourages voluntary compliance, and contributes to national development,” according to an official statement.
