Tax changes in Ecuador and their economic effects on the productive and commercial sectors in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004

2025-03-31T19:52:49+00:00

The research analyzes the tax reforms implemented during this period and their impact on the national economy. These reforms included modifications in direct and indirect taxes, such as the Value Added Tax (VAT) and the Income Tax, aimed at increasing tax collection and stabilizing public finances after the economic crisis of the late 1990s. The study evaluates how these measures affected the productive and commercial sectors, highlighting both their benefits and limitations. On the one hand, greater tax revenues were achieved, but, on the other, significant challenges were identified for small and medium-sized businesses, such as the growing tax burden and economic informality. The analysis concludes that, while the reforms contributed to fiscal sustainability, a more balanced approach is necessary to promote economic growth and business competitiveness.

The legal implications of the presumption of the time of conception in the ecuadorian civil code

2025-03-10T17:43:51+00:00

Introduction: The presumption of the time of conception established in article 62 of the Ecuadorian Civil Code expressly establishes that conception precedes birth in ranges of one hundred and eighty days to three hundred days, a notion that constitutes a presumption of law, that is, it does not admit contradictions, having the main objective to establish filiation, however, currently due to the multiple scientific and technological advances there are methods that allow determining filiation with greater precision, for which said presumption is obsolete not only because of its rigidity in the range it establishes to determine conception but also because of the fact that it does not admit evidence against it even when thanks to technology it has been possible to evidence the deficiencies of this, to the point of even violating fundamental rights. Objective: To analyze the presumption of the time of conception, its legal implications, and challenges in determining filiation in the Ecuadorian Civil Code, to protect the rights derived from it. Methodology: The research will use analytical and analogical methods to address the shortcomings of the presumption of the time of conception in parental filiation and argue the need to adopt modern technologies based on the analysis of foreign legislation. Conclusions: Given this problem, the need to modify article 62 is highlighted, so that the presumption "of law" becomes simply legal, which would allow the admission of contrary evidence, and would better adjust to the current state and scientific reality. It is worth mentioning that Ecuadorian law, being of a progressive nature, must adapt the laws and prevent violations from occurring. General study area: Law and administration of justice. Specific study area: Family civil law. Type of study: Systematic bibliographic review.
