Nuevos impuestos en decreto de emergencia tras polémica emisión de deuda
La polémica por la emisión de deuda de 23 billones de pesos realizada por el gobierno la semana pasada sigue creciendo. La Contraloría General de la República le dio al Ministerio de Hacienda un plazo de dos días para explicar cómo se llevó a cabo la transacción y, sobre todo, cuál será el destino de los más de 22 billones obtenidos.
TL;DR
- The Comptroller's Office is investigating a 23 trillion peso debt issuance by the government, demanding details on its execution and purpose.
- An economic emergency decree is expected to introduce new taxes, such as an increase in the financial transaction tax from 4 to 5 per 1000, and a 19% VAT on online gambling.
- Additional taxes on lotteries, cigarettes, coal, and oil, as well as a progressive wealth tax ranging from 0.5% to 5%, will also be implemented.
- The government aims to raise an additional 16.3 trillion pesos through these new taxes to cover the upcoming year's budget.
- International rating agency Fitch views these measures as indicative of the government's fiscal urgency and difficulties in increasing revenue.
