31 Revenue Statistics in Latin America and the Caribbean I. Tax revenue trends II. Tax structure III. Fiscal revenues from non-renewable natural resources IV. Taxation and tax autonomy of subnational governments V. Future steps and conclusions
32 Future steps Continue expanding country coverage Haiti and Caribbean Improve data collection of subnational governments Expand the fiscal picture: statistics on tax expenditures (and on government expenditures)
33 Conclusions (I): Beyond Americas Latinas, tax revenue trends improved Tax revenues have been resilient to the output decline in LAC. The average tax burden in LAC increased from 22.2% in 2014 to 22.8% GDP in 2015 The average tax burden in LAC countries is still far behind from the OECD average (34.3% of GDP in 2015), but the gap is currently at its lowest (11.4 percentage points of GDP) Heterogeneity is a hallmark of the region. The tax to GDP ratios in LAC countries range from 12.4% (Guatemala), 13.7% (Dominican Republic) and 16.2% (Panama) to 32.0% (Brazil), 32.1% (Argentina) and 38.6% (Cuba)
34 Conclusions (II): but many challenges remain on consumption and direct taxes Strong growth of VAT and excise taxes offset the decline of 0.2 percentage points of corporate income taxes Taxes on goods and services (mainly VAT and sales taxes) accounted for nearly half of tax revenues in the LAC countries in 2015 (49%), compared to one third (33%) in OECD in 2015 Direct taxes collection is relatively low in LAC countries. Taxes on income and profits accounted for 6.2% of GDP, and social security contributions collected 3.8% of the GDP (vs 11.5% and 9.1% of GDP respectively in OECD)
35 Conclusions (III): and on strengthening subnational governments revenues Fiscal responsibility is eroded by high dependency on transfers from the central government. Currently, 49% of subnational governments total income is provided through transfers, while 40% come from tax revenues Sub-national governments rely on recurrent taxes on immovable property (16% of total subnational revenues), taxes on consumption (60%) and taxes on business and motor vehicle licenses (7%) for their tax revenues State governments in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico have a high levels of tax autonomy, whereas in Chile 58% of subnational tax revenue is subject to tax-sharing agreements. Local governments have lesser autonomy
36 Conclusions (IV): In addition, the negative shock on public revenues is substantial The sharp decline in international oil prices since the financial crisis resulted in a reduction of hydrocarbon-related revenues in the region (from 7.3% in 2013 and 6.6% in 2014 to 4.4% of GDP in 2015). An additional decline of 1.8 percentage points is expected in 2016 Mineral and metal prices also decreased public revenues from mining, which fell from 0.5% of GDP in 2014 to 0.4% in 2015, with a further fall to 0.3% estimated for 2016 (Commodity prices fell further in 2016 but less than in 2015)
37 Conclusions (V): Policy recommendations Given the economic slowdown and weak commodity prices, a no-policy change scenario suggests that tax revenues will not increase. Key to ensure the financing of education and infrastructure and social programmes. The design of the PIT can be improved, and so can the design of the VAT Central governments have a key role in supporting strengthening efforts for subnational governments (policy and institutions) The fiscal management of commodities should be strengthen before the next boom Tax reforms have to come, hand in hand, with improvements in their management. Latin American governments need to strive for more efficient, transparent and innovative services
