La organización tributaria federal de la Argentina prevé concurrencia en las fuentes de imposición para la imposición indirecta. En este trabajo se hará referencia al impuesto sobre los ingresos brutos, principal fuente de recaudación provincial. En consonancia con el IVA nacional, ambos son tributos generales sobre los consumos, adicionándole al tributo provincial la característica de afectar la producción por ser un tributo en cascada. El propósito es el de intentar identificar si una provincia se encuentra limitada en la recaudación impositiva por una baja capacidad de generar recursos o por un bajo esfuerzo en la explotación de la capacidad tributaria existente para financiar el gasto público.

Federal tax organization in Argentina can be defined by concurrent taxation from indirect taxes. In this paper, we refer to the provincial Turnover Tax, which is the main revenue source for the provinces and the national VAT. Both are consumption taxes and, in terms of provincial taxes, as they are cascade taxes, they are also taxing production. The aim of this paper is to identify if a province is limited in its tax collection because of a low capacity for generating revenue or due to a lack of effort in exploiting its existing tax capacity in order to finance public expenditure.

Em harmonia com o IVA nacional, ambos são tributos gerais sobre os consumos, adicionando ao tributo provincial a característica de afetar a produção por ser um tributo em cascata. O propósito é o de tentar identificar se uma província se encontra limitada na arrecadação impositiva por uma baixa capacidade de gerar recursos ou por um baixo esforço na exploração da capacidade tributária existente para financiar o gasto público.
