The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), through the National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat), highlighted that the strengthening of tax policies allowed for record tax revenues for the Central Government, exceeding 175 billion soles (approximately $52 billion) by the end of 2025.
This result is explained, in addition to the positive performance of economic activity, by the actions implemented throughout the year by the National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) in the areas of compliance control, auditing, assistance, and guidance to taxpayers, aimed at improving the efficiency of the tax system.
According to information from Sunat (Peru's tax authority), central government tax revenues, excluding tax refunds, registered a real growth of 10.7% compared to 2024, representing more than 19.2 billion soles (approximately US$5 billion) in additional revenue compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that tax revenues achieved in 2025 almost double the annual average for the 2016–2019 period, which was 98.858 billion soles (approximately US$29.3 billion), reflecting a sustained improvement in the State's revenue collection capacity.
The Minister of Economy and Finance, Denisse Miralles, stated that this result will ensure the necessary resources to address the country's main priorities.
“Strengthening tax collection allows us to have more resources to finance public works and services that improve the population's quality of life, within a framework of fiscal responsibility,” stated Minister Miralles.
She added that the performance of tax revenues contributes to fulfilling the commitments made by 2026 under the Fiscal Agreement for Sustainable Growth, particularly regarding the progressive and sustainable increase of tax revenues, while preserving the country's macroeconomic stability.
