After the tax reform was presented in the National Assembly, the Tax Administration (PRI) provided an OPG calculator on its website so that dependent workers would know how much their rent tax would be reduced.

The government hopes that the changes will enter into force from the same year in 2023, therefore it included a provision in the bill that must be processed within 30 days, since it was presented as an economic emergency.

Income tax: now the reduction will depend on how many family obligations the taxpayer has, not on salary

This calculator is available at www.sri.gob.ec. “Here You will be able to calculate your personal income tax reduction with the new Organic Law for strengthening the family economy proposed by President Guillermo Lasso”, it is stated.

The taxpayer must fill in information about his income, his annual personal housing expenses; education, art and culture; health; feed; clothing and national tourism.

The government presented a tax reform that aims to reduce the income tax of taxpayers and entrepreneurs

In addition to the number of dependent members: parents, spouse or common-law partner and children up to 21 years of age or with disabilities of any age (who do not earn taxable income and are dependent on the taxpayer).

And state whether the person or any of their dependents has a catastrophic, rare or orphan disease.

With this, the system calculates the amount that needs to be paid for the tax and compares it with the amount paid in 2022 and the savings that will be brought by the application of the changes to the reform that is already in the National Assembly.
