Gestha supports the new digital taxes but sees the forecast of revenue as "overvalued" - La Provincia

The Technicians of the Ministry of Finance (Gestha) support the creation of new taxes on digital services and financial transactions, but believe that the collection forecast for the new taxes is "overvalued" and doubt that it could have an impact on income from this year. The union points out that the new taxes will give the system "greater equity and sufficiency", although they warn of the difficulties that will come with their control and that they will come into force with a "considerable" delay, dragging the possibility of collecting them in 2019. the tax on certain digital services, known as 'Google tax', Gestha points out that globally, according to estimates of the Taxation Committee of theOECD, the effective tax burden of the large transnationals is between 4 and 8.5 percentage points below that of similar companies that operate only at the national level.
