Base de Données de la Pression Fiscale Équivalente en Amérique Latine et dans les Caraïbes : 1990-2018

By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)

The Equivalent Fiscal Pressure (EFP) for Latin America and the Caribbean for the period 1990-2018, calculated using the IDB-CIAT methodology, measures the total resources collected by the countries of the region. This includes mandatory contributions to private (actuarial) social security systems and non-tax revenues from natural resource exploitation activities. In 2018, the EFP reached 25.2% of GDP, an increase of 0.4% compared to 2017. The sustained increase is based on three fiscal pillars: the Value-Added Tax (VAT), the Income Tax System (ISR), and mandatory Social Security Contributions (SSC), both public and private. From 1990 to 2018, these pillars collectively grew as follows: VAT by 3.4 percentage points of GDP (87.0%), ISR by 2.7 points (77.5%), mandatory SSC by 1.6 points (59.5%), and non-tax revenue from natural resources by 0.7 points (317.5%). Over the most recent five-year period (2013-2018), EFP growth was limited to 1 percentage point of GDP, equivalent to a 4.1% increase. VAT and ISR grew by only 4.8% (to 7.3% of GDP in 2018) and 11.8% (to 6.3% of GDP), respectively, while revenues from natural resources declined by 51.9% (to 1.0% of GDP).
