4 In average: low tax revenues But this is partially true High heterogeneity between countries Importance of non tax revenues High volatility of fiscal revenues. Importance of fiscal revenue from commodities. The tax structure is highly unbalanced: Primacy of indirect taxes. Low collection of income taxes. Personal income tax is basically a tax on wage income. Property taxes are insignificant.
5 Personal Income Taxes generate little revenue due to: Significant levels of informality Low tax compliance Extensive use of tax incentives and preferential treatment of capital income Political economy problems in implementing reforms The widespread use of tax expenditures erodes the tax base High levels of evasion damage stability and legitimacy of the tax system The cost of collection is high
6
7 These Declaration Principles are one step forward, but to advance it is necessary to include different regional and structural characteristics: Social inequality Informality Subregional disparities, Different institutional organizations (federal, unitary, decentralized countries), Productive specialization, Strong concentration of power in elites. The regional organizations could help to tailor an adequate regional and country responses.
8 Strengthen direct taxation, especially the personal income tax. Expand the tax bases Taxing capital income Review the use of tax incentives: Set clear goals Improve measurement of tax expenditures Analyze the impact of these incentives Improve capacity management and effective control of tax administrations Measuring the tax evasion and tax gap.
9 Strengthen property taxes, especially at subnational levels. Taxation of natural resources Political economy of the tax reform in LA So we could face two major challenges: Rebuilding the fiscal space Addressing the multiple dimensions of inequality in the region
