The Ecuadorian National Aquaculture Chamber (CNA) has questioned the bill, specifically article 13, which proposes that taxpayers make a monthly self-withholding prepayment of up to 3 percent of total income obtained.

The move, slated for the beginning of 2024, would cost shrimp farmers an extra USD 400 (EUR 366) per container, Camposano said.
