With the purpose of strengthening the country's judicial and financial system, and in compliance with the law and international commitments assumed by the State, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), as of February 27, 2026, will initiate the process of dissolving suspended legal entities.
As part of this measure, a direct access will be enabled on the Public Registry's website, where citizens can consult the list of societies included in this process, as well as the progress related to the update of the corresponding regulatory framework.
The process will be carried out in two stages. The first stage will include legal entities that have a dissolution margin for non-payment of the single fee for more than ten years, specifically since 2016, in accordance with article 318-A of the Fiscal Code.
The second stage will cover legal entities with a suspended status in the Public Registry, in accordance with article 318-A of the Fiscal Code and in accordance with the amendments introduced by Law 52 of 2016 and Law 254 of 2021.
In the first stage, the administrative resolutions issued by the General Directorate of Revenue in 2016 will be executed, by which the placement of a dissolution margin on 290,534 legal entities was ordered.
The process will begin with a first block of 180,883 societies whose information was properly homologated, and will continue in a staggered, controlled, and progressive manner.
This action reaffirms the commitment of the Panamanian State to transparency, compliance with the law, and national and international cooperation, ensuring that citizens will be timely informed about the progress of this process.
