At the same time, the Central Government has implemented other measures that seek to close the gaps for tax offenses and reduce the costs for taxpayers who do contribute in fair measure.

The Ministry of Finance (MH) has been executing, since october 2019, the Anti-evasion Plan that has facilitated alerting the FGR about cases where there is suspicion of this crime. To date, the Plan has identified and recovered more than US$800 million.

The Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) reported the arrest of a person accused of evading US$100 thousand, in 2014, he presented false documents regarding the provision of his services as a private sector employee and administrative services. As well as other investments.

The Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) (DGA, a dependency of the MH) is in the process of working with marches that have GPS. In other words, it will be possible to verify and dispatch merchandise with high technology to further reduce the cost and time of customs procedures.

One of the steps that will facilitate this route is the implementation of the electronic signature, which the head of the MH, Alejandro Zelaya, inaugurated on december 14.

With this technology, users will receive much more agile services. It even eliminates spaces to find ways to avoid paying taxes.

The stronger the public finances, the more decent works and services the Central Government will be able to deliver to salvadorans, as it has shown in its three years of management.
