El Salvador’s Ministry of Finance has launched the “Inspectores Fiscales Sin Fronteras” programme to improve tax auditing and criminal investigations, focusing on Transfer Pricing and Tax Crime Investigation.

The initiative aims to strengthen the fight against tax evasion and increase internal tax revenues, contributing to the country’s commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The programme includes practical training for tax inspectors and auditors to enhance their skills in detecting irregularities.

Since its anti-evasion plan in 2019, the government has recovered USD 1.9 billion, with further efforts to promote fair taxpayer contributions and economic development.
