The Internal Revenue Service (SRI) has announced the launch of its first edition of the Tax Academy, a training program aimed at individuals with advanced knowledge in tax matters. The program will be conducted virtually and is free of charge.
Alexandra Navarrete, general director of SRI, stated that the main goal of the Academy is to strengthen technical training on tax issues and promote access to specialized, reliable, and high-level information for all those involved in the fiscal sector. She emphasized that the program will be delivered through self-study on SRI’s Virtual Campus.
The Tax Academy includes three specialized modules: Value Added Tax (VAT), Personal Income Tax, and Corporate Income Tax. The total duration is 120 academic hours, with each module comprising 40 hours. Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate issued by SRI.
For this first edition, SRI will offer 1,000 spots. Interested candidates must pre-register by February 6, 2026. Preselected applicants will receive an email with instructions for admission activities. Results will be communicated to applicants via email by March 13, 2026.
According to SRI, this initiative introduces a more advanced and focused approach to training in order to foster a fair and responsible tax culture.
