Abstract

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza la progresividad de la política tributaria después de la Constitución de 1991 y encuentra cómo la mayoría de las reformas apuntan principalmente a darle un papel preponderante a los impuestos indirectos. Posteriormente, se desarrolla el Método de Progresividad por Participación para tener una aproximación del carácter progresivo o regresivo de los impuestos directos e indirectos en este periodo. La conclusión a la que se llega, es que los impuestos indirectos son regresivos mientras que los directos progresivos; lo que parece indicar que, en general, la política tributaria después de la Constitución de 1991 ha ido alejándose de los objetivos en materia de equidad propuestos por la Carta Magna.Abstract: This paper examines the progressivity of the tax policy after the 1991 Constitution. We found that most of the reforms tries to give a main role to indirect taxes. Subsequently, we developed the Progression per Participation Method to have an approximation of the progressive nature of direct and indirect taxes in this period. The conclusion reached is that indirect taxes are regressive while direct taxes are progressive; suggesting that, in general, tax policy after the 1991 Constitution has been away from the objectives of equity proposed by the Constitution.
