Tablas y figuras de: Recaudar no basta: Los impuestos como instrumento de desarrollo

By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)

This dataset contains tables and figures for the publication "Revenue Collection Is Not Enough: Taxes as an Instrument of Development" (Related publication only available in Spanish). Taxation in Latin America is largely viewed as a means of generating income to keep the government in business. In recent years, progress has been made towards increasing total revenue, but most countries in the region still lag well behind other countries with similar levels of development. More importantly, Latin America policymakers still largely ignore the potential of taxation to contribute to other important development goals. Governments have repeatedly missed the chance to influence consumption and production patterns by using taxes to effect relative price changes. More than Revenue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the current state of taxation in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, its main reform needs, and possible reform strategies that take into account the likely economic, institutional, and political constraints on the reform process.
