Peru has appointed César Luna-Victoria León as the new Chief of the National Superintendence of Taxes and Customs (SUNAT). He assumed the role on 6 August 2026, days after President Keiko Fujimori formed her government. Luna-Victoria, a veteran tax lawyer and former cabinet minister, brings decades of experience in tax law and corporate affairs to the position.
His appointment is part of a broader reshuffle at SUNAT, with former Chief Javier Franco Castillo stepping down. Luna-Victoria's tenure is notable for its potential to introduce stability in an agency that has seen frequent leadership changes. The government hopes this move signals their commitment to revenue policy and effective tax collection. With Peru's tax system playing a crucial role in government spending, Luna-Victoria's leadership will be closely monitored by business and investors alike.
