Abstract

En América Latina, la recaudación fiscal ha experimentado un crecimiento en los últimos quince anos; sin embargo, los niveles de desigualdad y pobreza imperantes llevan a preguntarse si los países pueden aumentar aún en mayor medida los ingresos tributarios, en función de poder financiar en forma genuina los niveles de gasto público necesarios para morigerarlos. Mediante la metodología de esfuerzo fiscal, en este artículo se presentan estimaciones que permiten concluir que los países con menor nivel de desarrollo están asociados a una menor capacidad de generación de recursos fiscales, y países con desarrollo medio o alto podrían incrementar su recaudación, pero por decisiones políticas e institucionales han determinado mantener tasas impositivas bajas.
