New Government Tax to Boost National Revenue with Transfer of Trapped Dividends.

The government’s spider web of country tax has once again ensnared a new contributor. From today onwards, this tax will cover companies that transfer dividends trapped by stocks to their parent companies. It is estimated that there are US$ 7,000 million trapped in such stocks that should be transferred abroad. These transfers had been halted in the previous government but were recently reinstated under the current administration with the use of Bopreal bonds, originally intended for importers.

Economist Amilcar Collante predicted on social media that an additional US$1 billion could be raised this way. Since the PAIS tax does not get shared, all revenue from this tax goes directly into the national coffers. In the first quarter, it contributed 10% of the total collection. Originally, this tax included a 30% rate on operations in dollars and ticket purchases but has since been expanded to include import taxes at 17.5%.

In March, the PAIS Tax saw a nominal increase of 1,106.5% year-on-year and 208.8% in real terms. According to consulting firm ACM, these taxes have become increasingly important for national revenue during the new administration. While the PAIS tax is set to disappear in December, it has become an essential tool for the government to maintain a surplus. It is expected that this tax will disappear once exchange rate unification is carried out, which has been delayed from its initial June timeline.

The significance of the PAIS tax has reduced its chances of disappearing quickly as it has become a central tool for generating revenue for the government. If restrictions are lifted after harvest season ends, it could potentially raise 0.8% of GDP if maintained throughout the year – an estimated number around 1.3% of GDP by EconViews consultants firm estimates that other resources will be required to balance out accounts.

Overall, while many people see taxes as burdensome and unnecessary, they play an essential role in funding public services and programs necessary for society’s growth and development.

In recent years, some countries have taken steps to reduce their reliance on foreign currency imports by encouraging domestic production and trade through measures such as protectionism or subsidies.

Furthermore, countries can also seek to diversify their sources of foreign currency income through activities such as tourism or attracting foreign investment through incentives like lower taxes or streamlined regulations.

Ultimately, finding sustainable ways to generate revenue while also ensuring economic stability and growth remains a challenge faced by governments worldwide.
