Abstract

En noviembre de 1998, el país se sorprendió cuando el gobierno nacional, amparado en las facultades que otorga la Constitución en los momentos de crisis económica, creó una contribución especial sin precedentes en la historia fiscal de Colombia. Esta contribución grava con una tarifa del 2x1000 a las transacciones financieras que impliquen el retiro de fondos de las cuentas corrientes y de ahorro de bancos y otro tipo de intermediarios. Inicialmente el gobierno anunció que el nuevo gravamen sería transitorio y que su aplicación se extendería hasta el 31 de diciembre de 1999, una vez se hubiesen corregido los problemas más graves que enfrenta el sector financiero. No obstante, el surgimiento de algunos imprevistos, como el terremoto en el eje cafetero, llevó a modificar la decisión inicial, ampliando el período de aplicación del impuesto hasta finales del año 2000. En los recientes acuerdos que firmó el gobierno con el FMI se contempla, entre otras cosas, un riguroso programa de ajuste fiscal, que toca tanto los gastos como los impuestos. Dentro de la reforma tributaria que presentará el ejecutivo al Congreso en la legislatura del año 2000, figura como pieza fundamental la extensión del impuesto del 2x1000 hasta finales del año 2002. No cabe duda que por los recaudos que ha generado durante su vigencia, el establecimiento definitivo de este impuesto resulta atractivo para el gobierno, sobretodo porque las necesidades de recursos fiscales son crecientes y no existe un margen de maniobra lo suficientemente amplio como para efectuar ajustes significativos en el gasto público.
