- Ecuador’s tax agency (SRI) has confirmed a 15% VAT on digital services, including igaming, betting, sports predictions, and related platforms.
- The VAT applies to all automated digital services provided via the internet with minimal human intervention.
- Tax treatment depends on the operator’s residency: Ecuadorian operators must collect and remit VAT; non-resident operators with intermediaries have VAT withheld by the intermediary; non-resident operators without intermediaries require users to declare and pay the VAT.
- The measure aims to formalize the digital sector, clarify taxation rules, and strengthen tax collection through financial intermediaries.
