To do this, these taxes and the right to their refund established according to the legal basis are briefly described. As for the methodology, the study is of a documentary type, with a descriptive level and a quantitative approach, since data from statistics are collected to determine the characteristics of the sector. One of the main conclusion is that when analyzing the data from 2015 to 2018, the flower sector is one of the most important in the country's foreign trade, since it occupies third place in the world export ranking, it is also a great generator of jobs and their contribution to GDP has an increasing trend, however, when reviewing the economic situation, the benefits have decreased, reason why the investigation becomes relevant to analyze the incident factors.
