The head of the productive portfolio of Santa Fe highlighted the potential of the region's industries, but emphasized the need for clear rules and a tax scheme that does not hinder their growth. The provincial government appreciated the recent elimination of some taxes on industrial products as a step forward that benefits strategic sectors of the local economy.
The taxes are seen as a factor that reduces competitiveness and limits reinvestment in technology and productive expansion. The importance of moving towards a tax system that favors industries and agricultural producers has been pointed out, strengthening their position in global markets.
Although the elimination of some taxes is perceived as progress, it is emphasized that the next step should be the complete removal of export duties on agriculture. There are also calls for a reduction in tariffs on imported supplies, the elimination of the fuel tax, and the correction of VAT technical balances to improve the competitiveness of the productive sector in Santa Fe.
Both Governor Maximiliano Pullaro and Minister of Productive Development, Gustavo Puccini, have expressed the need to support industrial and agricultural development to achieve greater competitiveness. The commitment is to promote more competitive companies through measures that benefit various industrial sectors.
Puccini stressed that it is crucial to free producers from excessive tax burdens so they can reinvest in technology and increase their productive capacity. These measures would not only positively impact the agricultural sector but also the industry in general, encouraging the generation of skilled employment and potential exports.
The province considers these actions to be a significant advance, although there is a insistence on the need to extend these policies to the agricultural sector and carry out a comprehensive redesign of the tax scheme to continue strengthening Santa Fe's competitive position internationally.
