After the meeting led by the national Executive with representatives of the 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires, as a first step towards the May Pact, the governor of Río Negro,
Alberto Weretilneck
, revealed this Saturday that the Government proposed the reversal
Income Tax with a floor of 1.5 million pesos
.
"In Patagonia, we have a much higher cost of living than in the rest of the country. Obviously, the higher the cost of living, the higher the salaries
. Even if you set a floor of one million 500 thousand pesos "In Patagonia it affects practically the entire wage bill
," Weretilneck remarked.
During an interview with radio Miter, the provincial president explained that this floor "was what the Government proposed and there were dissimilar positions", since "there were some governors who said yes and many who said no."
"On such a sensitive issue, no one can compromise the vote of a deputy or a senator," anticipated the Rio Negro, who had already raised his negative position regarding reestablishing the fourth category of Profits.
For Weretilneck, it is "a tax that those who earn a salary paid for 100 years", so "beyond the impact on finances, it is a fact of absolute justice."
"With the fall in the purchasing power of salaries in the last year...Charging another reduction on that to someone who receives a salary is even exaggerated, it cannot be allowed under any type of view," he argued.
