Santo Domingo.- Dominicans again ranked the Internal Taxes Agency (DGII) first in prestige and credibility among all Government departments, according to the survey “Most Admired Companies in 2011,” published by the magazine Mercado (market).
The poll disclosed Wednesday in its January edition shows Internal Taxes followed by the ministries of the Treasury, Tourism, Education and Labor.
The market study asked 760 people to name their favorite companies last year, divided among the most admired in the branches of Communication and Technology, Automotive and Fuels, Finances, Importers and Industries, Services, Stores and Distributors, Construction, Energy, Health, Transport, Tourist-Entertainment and Foods, and Public Education.
It’s the tax agency’s third consecutive year in first place, in the poll by the magazine specialized in Dominican Republic’s labor market and the economy.
The DGII also ranked eighth among Dominican Republic’s 50 best companies to work in, in 2011, becaming the only Government agency within the Top 10 scale.

The Dominican People have surely drank the Kool-Aid.
Since none of the people with real income pay anywhere near the taxes that they are supposed to pay, no wonder they love the tax department. I have a friend who was working for RD$15000 per week. He paid no taxes. Why? He was paid as follows: 1500 "salary", obviously too low to tax, and 13,500 listed as "bonus". No tax on bonuses.

And so it is with soooooooo many ill-functioning nation-states, even ones like Italy, Greece and Spain, not to mention the serious and traditional pattern found in Latin America.
If you want modernity and advancement then taxes are unavoidable and have to be paid.
