Many expatriates living in Ecuador or newbies are unaware that residents and citizens aged 65 and older may be eligible to request a refund of the IVA (Value Added Tax) paid on qualifying purchases.
The process can be confusing, especially if you’re unfamiliar with Ecuadorian regulations, online government platforms, or documentation requirements. Fortunately, assistance is available.
At Fundación Hogar de Esperanza’s the ExPat Services Center can guide you through the process, help organize your documentation, and answer your questions.
Whether you’re applying for the first time or need help updating your information, we’re here to help.
Office location: Hostal Pichincha, Juan Montalvo 9-78 between Gran Colombia and Bolívar
We are open from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm.
Feel free to stop by and learn more about how we can help expats navigate life in Ecuador, supporting local community programs. Fernando and David will be happy to assist you.
