Overview

• The appointment was formalized in Supreme Resolution No. 030-2025-EF published on October 3 in El Peruano and signed by President Dina Boluarte and Finance Minister Raúl Pérez Reyes.
• Edward Víctor Alberto Tovar Mendoza replaces Marilú Llerena Aybar, whose resignation was accepted, and he will complete the remainder of her term as provided by law.
• Tovar left his post as president of the Economy Ministry’s Tax Tribunal to assume the role and brings a long tax-law and public-sector background.
• This marks the third change at the top of Sunat in 2025, part of a rapid rotation that analysts warn could undermine continuity in modernization and enforcement programs.
• Sources said the change surprised Sunat staff after it appeared on the Cabinet agenda, and while Tovar’s strategic guidelines have not been released, coverage points to expectations of a technical focus on modernization and anti-evasion.
