Are you leaving money behind?

One of the lesser-known benefits available to many qualifying residents in Ecuador is the IVA refund program.

Yet every year, many eligible expats never apply.

The reason is often not eligibility—it’s lack of information.

For newcomers to Ecuador, understanding government procedures can feel overwhelming. The IVA refund process involves specific requirements, documentation, and application steps that many people aren’t familiar with.

As a result, money that could be returned remains unclaimed.

Taking the time to understand how the process works can make a meaningful difference over time.
At Expat Services Center, we help expats understand the IVA refund process so they can make informed decisions and take advantage of benefits they may qualify for.
