Abstract

It is common knowledge the importance that taxes have acquired in recent years for the fiscal sustainability of Ecuador. In this article the weight of each of the taxes in the annual collection (2017 and 2018) will be exposed, with the purpose of inquiring about the tax culture in the country. It is theoretically based, through concepts such as: tax culture obligations, taxes, taxpayer structure. For this purpose, a documentary research was carried out, in books and academic texts, the data expressed are quantitative, through statistical tables of the pages of the SRI and INEC. The result obtained from the research is that Ecuador obtains most of its fiscal income from tax collection, doubling the income from oil exports, so they are the foundation for fiscal sustainability, hence the tax culture should be encouraged to contribute to the development of the country, since there is still a significant proportion of collection for interest on arrears and tax fines, which even exceed the collection by RISE, which paradoxically make up more than half of the total companies in the country.
