A new law, passed in Ecuador during December 2024, imposes VAT registration obligations for foreign providers of electronic services to consumers.
Previously VAT on these types of transactions was withheld and paid to the tax authorities (Servicio de Rentas Internas, SRI ) via payment providers including banks and credit card providers. However, from December 2024, affected businesses are required to VAT register from the first sale that they make to account for VAT at 15% themselves.
This applies to a range of electronic services including:
- Streaming games
- Music
- Apps
- Films
- E-books and e-journals
- Internet services.
