Provinces respond for gross income: they denounce greater tax pressure of nation without correlation in works

In the last weeks, the tax debate between the Casa Rosada and the governors and mayors marked the pulse of the policy, with a principle of conflict with the agriculture for the withholdings. That account, at least temporarily, now the libertarian management insists with the suppression of provincial and municipal rates.

Provinces response to nation for gross income

Before consulting Scopethe Minister of Economy of Salta, Roberto Dib Ashurhe recalled that “6 out of 8 pesos that are collected with national taxes go to nation”, while the other two are destined for the provinces. “The discussion of unitarians and federals is from the nineteenth century, delay, you have to think about a global Argentina,” he reflected.

At the same time, he commented that the center region has 50% of the asphalted routes and the north 10%. “The trucks have to be charged to 70% because the roads are dirt. I want to reach the ports of Chile, to Paraguay, in those things you have to think,” He reflected.

The government official of Gustavo Sáenz He stressed that Salta has Iibb to zero in agriculture and mining, and from 1.5 to the industry. He also demanded “a development look, because 70% of GDP is concentrated in 3 provinces.” He added: “The withholdings remain nation when it is the production of the provinces.”

In addition, he commented that “Salta is a province that has fiscal balance and lowered US $ 200 million its debt, despite being one of the provinces that receives the least co -participation. The fiscal imbalance was the nation. “

Finally, Dib Ashur considered that “you have to double the GDP and that a corridor is needed in the north to get the production.” “The question is what nation is going to be in charge. Routes, railroads, gendarmerie?” ended.

At the same time, from Patagonia, another provincial Minister of Economy told this media that, where appropriate, both the real estate and automotive tax are charged by the municipalities and that Iibb represents its main tax source of its own.

“If they cut more than 40,000 million in committed funds and do not have public works, they also ask us to go down iibb … it is complex“, accurate.

Same adjective used the national deputy and former Minister of Economy of Río Negro Agustín Domingo before consulting Scope. The legislator admitted that he does not see a significant decrease viable without a fiscal coordination agreement with Nation. He affirmed, at the same time, that there may be isolated gestures, but that they do not solve the underlying problem.

“In my opinion it is more important to work on the collection regimes (Sircreb, Sortac, etc.) than about the aliquots. That is where the most abusive situations occur, especially with SMEs. They retain them from provinces in which they are null activity”, evaluated.

At the same time, another minister of an important province said that “National taxes are those that explain more than 80% of fiscal pressure in Argentina “ and, in reference to federal co -participation, he denounced that “The National Constitution itself speaks of objective criteria which are breaking 30 years ago.”

Importance of gross income for the provinces

According to data collected by the Mediterranean Foundation, the Gross Income Tax represents 80% of the provinces’ own income. “Provincial tax revenues fell 8 to 9% annual real, with a 10.6% decrease in gross income, its main tribute”, Says the report prepared on information from 20 jurisdictions last November.

It should be remembered that crossfire between Nation and the districts reaches a complex framework for subnational administrations, that in 2024 they received a collapse of 10% in federal co -participation and 76% in discretionary transfers, also known as contributions from the National Treasury (ATN).

This week, the Minister of Economy of Santa Fe, Pablo Olivaresit came out with the cutting plugs and stressed that the province “constantly monitors the sale in black through digital platforms, when they mean unfair competition with Santa Fe stores that fulfill their duties and support or increase employment.”

“To do this, in the retentions of gross income, whom they sell blank through digital platforms, they were established minor aliquots to which the law sets, while those who sell in black were fixed higher aliquots in order to urge them To get order “he detailed.

Olivares stated that, in terms of tax load reduction, Tax Law 2025 provides for several measures that reduce it to different productive sectors and anticipated that “they will continue to do so, with measures that promote provincial tax 0% to the highest production through investment and creation of Santa Fe employment “.

“Hopefully the platforms also do so with commissions, terms of accreditation to trade and other conditions of trade to trade, comparable to countries that are had as a model”he launched.

Meanwhile, the governors of the PRO Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos) aligned to the claim of the Casa Rosada and sent bills to their legislatures to lower Iibb and stamps among other local taxes. Beyond the economic dimension, the play was read as a wink to Milei while the possibility of yellow and libertarians converge in an electoral alliance is considered.
