Milei on the tax increase in the province of Buenos Aires: "It is expropriatory"
President Javier Milei ratified this Sunday his questions about the tax increase established by the government of the province of Buenos Aires and pointed to the management of Governor Axel Kicillof in matters of Security and Education as an example that the taxes that Buenos Aires residents pay They do not return through services. “ The province is a bloodbath ,” warned the head of state during an interview on LN+ with journalist Luis Majul.

Milei assured that he “totally agree” with the position expressed by deputy José Luis Espert , recently incorporated into the La Libertad Avanza bloc and an ally of the government. In the same line of reasoning, she said that the increases ordered by Kicillof are “confiscatory,” and said that the compensation is not seen.


It is expropriatory, it has no counterpart in public goods. Kicillof gives nothing , in terms of security, the province is a bloodbath; In education, student achievement is truly very poor; In health, we already saw the scam of the State present during the pandemic, in which, if we had done things like a mediocre country we would have had 30 thousand deaths, and we had 130 thousand," assured the national leader.

The increase in patents, the increase in residential real estate and the increase in rural real estate does not have to be paid for. You don't have to pay it. And that is not tax rebellion to the fart, it is tax rebellion with common sense. The people of Buenos Aires do not have to pay the tax increase,” Espert had warned, who admitted that he himself would avoid paying the strong increases.


And in the same sense, he had assured: “Just as workers who do not feel represented by the salaries they earn, go on strike, and the poor block the streets, it is the only defense that taxpayers have when politicians do not give us counterpart to the taxes that we pay something. And we saw La Matanza flooded, a dead man floating happily in Lanús, everything flooded in the suburbs . We don't have to pay the taxes that Kicillof now wants, because it doesn't give us anything. I'm not going to pay them. Neither real estate nor rural, because I am also a rural product.” For his part, the president was in line with that view.

Javier Milei supported José Luis Espert's decision

Governor Kicillof, for his part, called a press conference for this Monday, March 18 at 8:30 in the morning, and it is expected that there he will refer to this call for fiscal disobedience against his management, at least in this case. spot.

This is the new tax law 2024 of the province of Buenos Aires that came into force at the beginning of January, after being published in the Official Gazette. Through this measure, the governor applied an increase on real estate , built urban assets and rural land that ranges between 140% and 200%.

At that time, the provincial Minister of Economy, Pablo López, pointed out that taxes had not been increased for four years. And along the same lines, he added: “The last amounts were set in December 2022, from there inflation to today will accumulate more than 210%. By the time these taxes begin to be paid in February/March 2024, private parties estimate accumulated inflation since January 2023 of more than 300 percent.”

Furthermore, the minister argued through his social networks: “Beyond the increases, which are not increases in real terms, the absolute values in the Urbano are: for 31.6% of the items the annual tax does not exceed the $5,000, that is, installments of less than $1,000. For 49.1% of the items, it will not exceed $10,000 annually, that is, installments of less than $2,000. And only 15% will have to pay an annual value greater than $50,000.” The message was replicated both by the governor of the Province himself and by different members of his cabinet.

In the same sense, he emphasized that 44% of “the most vulnerable people in the country” live in Buenos Aires, and that it is “the province most harmed by a federal tax sharing system that is clearly unconstitutional and that "It prevents you from having the resources you need."
