Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyze the participation of the Value Added Tax in Ecuador's tax collection, in the years 2019-2023. The variables that are selected allow comparisons to be made between the dependent variable and the independent variable, focused on establishing the level of dependence of tax collection on the value added tax (VAT). The type of research used is documentary with a descriptive scope, a sample is selected for convenience, the sample corresponds to the tax collection that Ecuador obtains in the years 2019 to 2023. The dependent variable represents the total tax collection, the independent variable is the value added tax (VAT). The study allows us to establish that the value added tax (VAT) is highly significant for the generation of income from taxes, on average it represents $7,099 million dollars, which corresponds to more than 50% of the total collection, the result explains the importance that It has VAT for the state when using it as a revenue generating mechanism. The factors that determine the reason why the value added tax is highly significant when it generates income for the state are: that it is an indirect tax that is levied on all people who carry out a commercial transaction, whether natural or legal; the tax culture promoted by the control authorities and the ease of payment due to the scope of application of the tax.
