Ecuador Removes 12-Day Limit on Temporary VAT Reductions for Tourist Services

The 12-day limit on temporary VAT reductions for tourist services in Ecuador has been removed. Previously, the President could reduce the VAT rate to 8% for up to 12 days a year during National Holidays. An amendment to the Internal Tax Regime Law now allows this reduction without the 12-day restriction, enabling continued 8% VAT during Autumn, Christmas, and New Year Holidays.
