| Sumario: | The current inflationary context affects Income Tax setting as applied to employees in Argentina. The lack of a regular updating of its components distorts the tax burden and generates the payment of a tax on income which is part of “subsistence” expenses. We analyze whether the application of current legislation complies with the principles of tax-paying capacity, equity and progressivity. In order to find a high-income parameter, we draw an analogy with the concept of poverty using the total basket of goods and services as unit of measurement for the cases proposed. We conclude that a modification in the scale for lower income segments, in non-taxable minimums and in personal deductions would avoid the burden of distributive policies falling on middle-income taxpayers’ wages. |
