Peru Orders Kick Streamers to Pay Income Tax as Sunat Turns to Creator Enforcement

Sunat plans data cross-checks now with audits slated for next year as part of a broader revenue drive.

Overview

  • Sunat chief Marilú Llerena confirmed that income earned through streaming on platforms such as Kick is subject to Peru’s income tax.
  • Kick is already registered and paying taxes, and the agency’s focus now moves to individual streamers who receive payouts.
  • Authorities will identify noncompliant creators through information cross-checks during an induction phase that precedes stricter actions.
  • Audits and coercive measures are expected to begin next year for those who do not regularize after the initial outreach.
  • More than 100 digital platforms hold a Peruvian RUC and have generated about S/500 million in IGV, with Sunat projecting a doubling of digital take next year and targeting over S/11,000 million in large-debt collection this year alongside rising MAPE receipts.
