“What can be told to people that Peronism will do in the case of returning to the government?” Maximum Kirchner In a streaming interview. The national deputy and current president of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party replied: “There are issues that are so rowing many times, but the tax issue in Argentina must be addressed in a mature and serious way. This government, for example, under personal goods and no one is seeing that this has served for the Argentine economy to be dynamic.”
In his personal account of the social network X, the official user Grab the shovel He disseminated a proposal from the former president’s son that precisely in the report regarding personal goods. “One thing that Peronism has to do, for example, is to put personal goods as it was on December 9. These statements of the Kichnerismo referent was analyzed by Jonatán Viale, In his television program, which said: “The first thing that is going to be Peronism is to raise taxes.”
Since his arrival at Casa Rosada, Javier Milei installed a tax relief narrative that had as one of its main flags the reform of personal property tax, a tribute that was always resisted by the sectors of higher income and assets in Argentina. The libertarian management raised from the beginning the need to reduce tax pressure on capital as a way of encouraging investment and stop the leakage of assets abroad.
With that objective, the Government promoted a legislative modification that established a progressive decline of the aliquots, which in the previous years had reached levels considered “confiscatory” by the opposition of that time, and set a path towards the unification of fees that sought to simplify the tax scheme. The Executive also promoted a special regime of early cancellation, which allowed those who had high assets to pay in advance a closed sum and thereby be released from future obligations, a measure that was defended as an incentive to the repatriation of capital and criticized by the opposition for being a “undercover fiscal forgiveness” to the richest sectors.
He Milei government argued that this policy was framed in its program of “Chainsaw” Against what he considered distortive taxes and contrary to the accumulation of private savings, arguing that a more light system would stimulate both productive investment and the formalization of assets in the country. The parliamentary discussion was intense and had repairs of governors and opposition blocks that warned of the loss of co -participible resources, since personal goods is one of the highest collection taxes for the provinces.
However, the Casa Rosada managed to impose the reform with the support of allied sectors under the argument that, in the medium term, the reduction of the tribute would be compensated with greater economic activity. In practice, the measure meant a concrete relief for taxpayers with greater assets and became one of the symbols of libertarian management in fiscal matters, joining the promise of tax reduction with the search to attract capitals that historically guarded abroad through a bleach.
The results of this fiscal maneuver, by the government, are very questioned. It was speculated that there would be a reactivation of investments at the local level that could improve an economy with notable signs of recession. On the contrary, from the opposition they maintain that this measure had no impact on the microeconomic and only served to improve a small social estate.
