How much does the State take from each thing that is bought: bread, cars, meat, clothes and everything else?

It is a reality that the State takes a portion of what is produced in the country with taxes -impacting the price of things when buying them-, according to a World Bank report ensuring that Argentina is on the podium of the countries with the highest tax burden on the formal sector of the economy in the world -considering that the total rate of taxation on utility is 106%-.

But while all sectors of the private economy in the country pay similar taxes -with the most common being the 21% Value Added Tax- not all products have the same tax burden compared to their final price -with some reaching more than a 50% recharge compared to their original price-.

For example, according to a report carried out by the Fundación Pro Tejer it ensures that 50.3% of the final price paid for clothing is used to pay taxes imposed -as detailed in it, VAT, Gross Income, Income Tax, bank debits and credits are contemplated, among others-.

With all this in mind, the consultancy Inveqc put together a study entitled "Voracious State" in which it analyzes the tax burden of each of the products currently available in the Argentine market -ranging from cars to the purchase of food or basic supplies-.

The aforementioned report specifically analyzes the tax pressure on milk, yerba mate, oranges, meat, oil, noodles, bread, soft drinks, gastronomy in general, clothing, automobiles, transport and the hotel industry; with the highest being the automotive sector with 54.8% recharging.

The magister in finance Esteban Domeneq, who is currently director of Invecq, shared the report on his official Twitter account, while ironically commenting on it: "Every time you go shopping, in you are actually going to the AFIP".
