“I had said that Mendoza lost $6.5 billion but this Tuesday I saw a report from the Congressional Budget Office, meaning that with official data I verified that the loss quadruples and is $25 billion. The bottom line is that the Personal Property Tax, which is the most progressive, paid by the richest, is lowered, and the increase in the Income Tax does not compensate for what is lost from the other tax. In addition, they introduced a discount to Profits for the Patagonian provinces, so There is less that will reach the provinces from that tax“he explained.
This was shown on her networks by the national senator, who published a long thread to provide details of her statement.

According to the senator, this loss that will be seen in the co-participation that Mendoza receives this year will increase, so In the future the tax loss will be even more significant.

Sagasti rescued Martín Lousteau’s project
The Kirchnerist legislator, who in her tweet complained that the radical senators Rodolfo Suarez and Mariana Juri supported the reforms of the Bases Law with their votes, also rescued the own opinion presented last Friday by the president of the UCR – distant from the libertarians -, Martín Lousteau.
In this minority opinion, the radical senator intends reform the Country Tax and proposes that 30% of the proceeds currently go to the Socio-Urban Integration Fund (FISU) since it is not being executed, it will be allocated to the provinces as well.
“For this initiative to advance would be very positive for the provinces, because Javier Milei took the Country tax from 7% to 17% and That is what their strategy is based on to say that they have a surplus.. In addition, they are taking all the resources from the provinces, the National Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID), the transportation funds and they do not share the main tax,” reinforced Fernández Sagasti.
