Pullaro Renews Bid to Scrap Export Taxes and Redirect Investment to Production

He argues Santa Fe sends about $3 billion a year to the national treasury with little return.

Overview

  • Speaking at Coronda’s National Strawberry Festival, the Santa Fe governor urged elimination of export duties and the cheque tax to ease costs for producers.
  • He called retenciones the country’s most regressive levy and claimed the revenue subsidizes Greater Buenos Aires political operators and social programs.
  • He pressed for across-the-board tax reductions at national, provincial, and local levels to boost output and encourage formal employment.
  • His agenda seeks targeted federal spending on roads, energy, logistics, ports, airports, and connectivity to sharpen export competitiveness.
  • He also backed tougher penal changes, rejecting a strongly garantista approach and insisting offenders serve sentences without privileges.
