Luckily comes just after the Easter holiday, to rest. In 2008, Argentines will have to work five days in 2007 to pay their tax burdens. Only on April 5 will be what in economic jargon is called "tax freedom day." That date was March 31 this Year of Age is an alternative way of referring to the "tax burden", which in 2008 will increase by almost one and a half in Argentina.
The share of revenue in the total product will fall from 24.7% to 26.1%. The variable is going strong with the recovery of the economy was only 16.1% in 2002.Por that in time, on the floor of the crisis, was enough to work 58 days, until February 27, to cover tax obligations. Already in 2004 it had jumped to 80 days-day of release: March 21, and pressure grew to reach the 95 days required in 2008.La rise in the tax burden has to do with new attempts by the Government by adding tax revenue, the withholding of fuel and mobile rates were established on the mining.
If you add increases to withholding agricultural November (soy, wheat, corn and sunflower), and taking into account the expected increase in 2008 in the prices of commodities, the package would provide about $ 11,000 millions in the coming year ago . There are other government initiatives under consideration in the same line as the elimination of earnings exemptions for the judges (equivalent to $ 149 million), tax advantages to the trusts ($ 2,000 million) or flirting, as Minister Martin Lousteau admitted in an interview with Clarin, the idea of \u200b\u200btax deadlines begin fijos.En average tax burden in Argentina is low when compared with other countries. Canadians, for example, get rid of paying taxes late June, the British in late May, as the Brazilians and South Africans. "However, this is an average, for those who do not evade taxes do have a very high pressure in the country, "said Vistoria Giarrizzo, Center for Regional and Experimental Economics.
In CERX calculated that when the estimated tax burden is only on the formal sector of the economy, for 2008 amounts to 35.3%, equivalent to 120 days trabajo.Pero the story does not end there . All issues discussed above apply only to national taxes. If you add provincial and municipal charges, should be added at least four percentage points, and with a view to rise in 2008 even greater than the national average, because the financial picture is agravando.Es governorates that a person operating in the sector formal and meets all its obligations at the national, provincial and municipal levels, and is about 40% of tax burden. 126 days of work recently completed on May 26, well after Easter.
Regressiveness
For the regressivity of the Argentine tax system, middle-high wages are the first to be freed from paying taxes. According to a study done two years ago by the CIPPEC, who earned $ 3,500 had its release day tax to 10 April, long before the April 25 ruled in 2006 that those earning $ 800. This has to do with the very high incidence of direct taxes such as VAT in the lower income sectors.

The ideology of the words
Now that Cristina Fernández became fashionable to investigate "from which the story" deals with every issue, namely that the terms "tax freedom day" and "pension tax" are not entirely aseptic. The "day of liberation" is a concept that was coined by American conservative institutions, as the Cato Institute or the Heritage Foundation, the concept suggests that taxes are a negative, of what "must be liberated." In the same line to register the "tax relief (tax relief), in which Republicans were able to impose its tax reform in the administration Bush.En Argentina, AFIP Alberto Abad usually complain about the use of the term" pressure tax. " In a recent conference called "pressure to stop talking about road tax and the proper financing, leading to fiscal solvency."
