Requirements according to DGI

-Large Taxpayers: always come with an audit report.

-CEDE Companies (Special Control of Companies): whenever your assets exceed UR 6,000, you must have a limited review report.

-Companies DO NOT YIELD: there are no requirements.

 

Additionally, for those companies located in the Free Trade Zone, according to DGI Resolution No. 1859/008, the requirements are:

For the rest of the financial statements, a Limited Review Report will be required.
