Description

The NIT is required for all organisations, including businesses and NGOs.

The first step is online pre-registration (likely via the portal: https://creaempresa.cnr.gob.sv), then in person with the Dirección General de Impuestos Internos (DGII) del Ministerio de Hacienda.

NIT numbers are 14 digits long (all numerical - e.g. 0614-241287-102-5). The first section (4 digits) is a municipality code, the second section of 6 digits is the date the organisation was established (or date of birth in case of a natural person). The third 3-digit section is a running number. The last digit is a verification digit.
