The governor of Córdoba, Martin Llaryora, rejected the Government’s idea of reinstating the income tax for the fourth category. “It seems like a mistake to replenish Profits, we have to go for high income,” she said in an interview on the TN television channel.
The president’s statements come after Javier Milei’s administration announced the sending of a proposal to Congress to modify the limits of the tax and prior to the first meeting of governors that the Nation called with a view to signing the called “May Pact”.
“I think we have to do something about high incomes, something that is progressive but not with a value that affects workers.“, he maintained and assured that, from his place, he is not promoting “any income tax.”
Along these lines, the head of the Córdoba Executive noted the need to achieve a broader economic program because “a fiscal plan without a productive plan falls apart, because you need to generate employment and work so that there is production”.
As LA NACION reported, the restitution of the income tax – eliminated in the middle of the 2023 electoral campaign – in order to recompose the federal co-participation “is the fine print of the Government’s invitation to the governors” to begin walking the path to reaching the agreement that Milei intends to seal in the fifth month of the year.
“It is a request from the governors that we help them solve their fiscal problems and in that sense we are going to propose the implementation of the income tax again,” the Minister of the Interior told this medium. Guillermo Francos. Meanwhile, it has not yet been defined what the new non-taxable minimum of the tax that weighs on income and salary will be, nor what the new scales will be like.
Although the first meeting is scheduled for this Friday, Lalaryora assured that he has not yet received any invitation to the call, although he appreciated “the call for dialogue” that the head of state made on Friday during his speech before the legislative assembly. However, he pointed out that, beyond supporting the fiscal package that the national administration wants to achieve, It is necessary to advance measures “to ignite the productive package”.
