Overview

  • The appointment was formalized by Supreme Resolution No. 030-2025-EF published on October 3 in El Peruano and signed by President Dina Boluarte and Economy Minister Raúl Pérez Reyes.
  • Marilú Llerena’s resignation was accepted by Supreme Resolution No. 029-2025-EF, and Edward Tovar will serve out the remainder of her term as required by law.
  • Tovar, a lawyer with advanced studies in taxation, resigned as president of the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s Tribunal Fiscal to assume the superintendent role.
  • The Council of Ministers backed his nomination prior to publication, and the change surprised Sunat staff and sector observers after it surfaced on the cabinet agenda.
  • This is the third leadership change at Sunat in 2025 and the fifth in the 2021–2026 period, drawing concern about continuity in enforcement, digitalization, and customs modernization initiatives.
