Overview

• Multiple outlets report the Council of Ministers endorsed Edward Tovar’s designation to head Sunat, with the formal resolution not yet published.
• He is set to replace Marilú Llerena, and Sunat sources say staff learned of the intended change only after the cabinet agenda became public.
• Tovar has been serving as president of the Tribunal Fiscal since June 1, 2025.
• His background includes legal and regulatory posts at Indecopi, the former Conasev (now SMV), Essalud and prior senior legal roles within Sunat.
