In a tweet posted on November 13, 2025, the Ministry stated: "La administración del presidente Bernardo Arévalo ha disminuido más del 40% el saldo de impuestos pendientes de devolver a los contribuyentes ." This announcement was accompanied by references to government officials and the official government account.

Legislative proposals seeking to streamline tax refund processes also align with regional trends toward modernizing public finance systems.
