Pension and tax reforms: two of Javier Milei’s objectives for 2025

“I started to think about the government measures for what will be in 2025… Faced with the landscape, I confirm that I will continue with the chainsaw fully… LONG LIVE FUCKING FREEDOM!!!”, the president published last Tuesday on social networks. Javier Milei.

The policy of zero deficit (or rather surplus) will continue to be the fundamental pillar of government management. For this reason, Milei is not willing to give in to increasing allocations, as some provincial leaders demand. The reduction of personnel in state departments will also continue. On the one hand, expiring contracts will not be renewed, and staff of retirement age will retire. Another mechanism to reduce personnel will occur through the elimination of areas whose functions are no longer required.

“The purpose is to eliminate all superfluous expenses generated by the State,” summarizes an important collaborator of the Casa Rosada. But not everything will be a “chainsaw”, the La Libertad Avanza government seeks to radically transform Argentina based on its ideology. In this sense, as far as he was able to know Scope exclusively, at the direction of the first president, The technical teams are working on “deep reforms” that cover the tax, pension, labor and criminal areas, among others.

In tax matters, The Executive Branch aspires to reduce the amount of taxes to five or six. The intention is to have the project advanced so that the head of state can present it to Congress in the speech at the opening of ordinary sessions 2025, on March 1, as announced in the Casa Rosada.

The initial objective is to simplify the tax system. The ruling party warns that a significant initial reduction in the tax burden is ruled out, since the priority is to maintain balance in the Treasury accounts. The national government also considers that each province must define its tax policy.

Another of the important reforms that the Government is developing, also for next year, consists of change the pension regime contemplating, among other aspects, the elimination of special regimes. The official assessment is that, if all privilege regimes were abolished, the minimum retirement could be tripled. If this elimination of the privilege regimes were applied, the minimum retirement, which today stands at $259,600, would go to 778,800.
