Economist Enrique Szewach said that the underlying problem is that the tax system that is responsible for collecting taxes must be modified.

The economist Enrique Szewach expressed his opinion about the closure of the Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP), and stated that the real underlying problem to be solved is the need to modify the tax system that is responsible for collecting taxes.

“You have a bad, distorted tax system. So we have to first change the tax system and simultaneously or sequentially the AFIP”Szewach said in statements to the press.

He also stated that the organization has “moderately high salaries, but they are not extraordinary, except in political positions” and that is why, those who work in databases, data analysis, who have lower-ranking positions, “go to the private sector.”

The economist who worked within Patricia Bullrich’s team assured that what AFIP needs is “a technological reform, an investment in systems machines.”

Finally, he said that “it has to be done well, but for now it is only a matter of reducing salaries, and removing things that are not right. I mean, no one is going to question it. But the underlying issue is another tax system,” he concluded. Szewach, in an interview with Radio Rivadavia.
