Incentive Framework
CONFOTUR
Qualifying tourism projects in the Dominican Republic may receive benefits under Law No. 158-01 on the Promotion of Tourism Development and its amendments — subject to qualification, approval and applicable legal conditions.
i.
What It Can Mean
Approved projects may benefit from temporary exemptions related to certain taxes applicable to qualifying tourism developments, as defined by the law and its regulations at the time of approval.
ii.
What It Does Not Mean
CONFOTUR status is never automatic. Not all Dominican properties qualify, and benefits vary per project and per resolution. Royal Saturn confirms status per development and provides documentation during consultation.
Disclaimer: this page is general information, not legal or tax advice. Any CONFOTUR benefit depends on the project's approval, the applicable resolutions and each buyer's circumstances. Always verify with qualified legal and tax counsel before purchasing. Royal Saturn Corporation will indicate in writing whether a specific project holds or is eligible for CONFOTUR status.
