What is the SRI?
The Internal Revenue Service was born on December 2, 1997, based on the principles of justice and equity, in response to high tax evasion, fueled by the almost total absence of tax culture. Since its creation, it has stood out for being an independent institution in the definition of management policies and strategies that have allowed it to be managed with balance, transparency and firmness in decision-making, transparently applying both its policies and tax legislation.

In recent years there has been a huge increase in tax collection. Between the years 2000 and 2006 the collection was 21,995 million; while in the period between 2007 and 2013 the collection tripled, exceeding 60,000 million dollars. The figure reached by the SRI is not due to tax reforms but to the efficiency in the management of the institution, to the improvements and implementation of high technology systems, development of innovative products such as Electronic Invoicing, mobile SRI, online services, reduction of indirect costs to citizens and strengthening of the tax culture, in addition to the significant increase in taxpayers.

"Do good to the country!" Is the slogan that identifies the institution and that since 2007 has been the banner of the continuous fight against evasion and bad tax practices, and of the search for continuous improvement for the benefit of taxpayers and the country.
