Leandro Cuccioli, head of the AFIP, spoke this Thursday (19.10.2018/XNUMX/XNUMX) at the IDEA Colloquium in Mar del Plata and pointed out the tax non-compliance in Argentina by saying that “We are here to play an important role that leads to a cultural change "because we connect the contribution with the possibility of living in a better country. Those who do not pay us are saying that they do not want to be part of this."
Cuccioli explained that in terms of tax compliance, "the playing field is not level today," so the role of the agency "is to make tax evasion less profitable and more risky."
«I want to tell you what we are doing on the AFIP side to level the playing field.. Today there are different profitability for those who evade and for those who do not. Today There is 35% informality and many 'elephants' disguised as 'ants', said the head of the AFIP.
In his presentation, Cuccioli He pointed out that false billing is the main scourge of tax evasion. And he stressed: “We have deregistered 4 thousand taxpayers for this reason. We are going to focus on the invention of spending by the fake power plants through algorithms.”

The official told the audience that next year they will work on an application “to return money to the taxpayer when making certain purchases or using the SUBE” and request the corresponding invoice.
Fiscal unit
In 2019, the collection of national and local taxes will be unified in 12 provinces, as was already done in Córdoba, said Cucciolloi.
Finally, when he was asked if the penalties for evasion should be toughened, he said, “Yes, it does. When you look at the input of complaints per year, which is 1.600, and when you look at the output of how many people have been convicted, it is 67. There is something in the process, which is not just the sentence, but the process itself, which is wrong.”
