Córdoba will reduce Gross Income by 5% to encourage investment in underdeveloped areas

The Government of Córdoba will promote a 5% reduction in the Gross Income tax rate for new productive investments in specific regions. The measure aims to encourage formal employment and attract capital to areas with low economic development, such as the northwest and the far south of the province. The announcement was made at the Stock Exchange during the presentation of the Balance of the Argentine Economy.

The initiative will be formalized through a bill that will be sent to the provincial Legislature over the course of next month. According to reports, the estimated fiscal cost exceeds 100 million dollars as a result of the applied tax exemption. The scheme will benefit exclusively ventures that generate economic activity in the most underdeveloped areas of Córdoba's territory.

The announcement was made by Governor Martín Llaryora before businesspeople, officials, and leaders of local economic entities. "We have to keep reducing the tax burden and direct this toward investments," stated the governor. According to him, the incentive will be complemented by an infrastructure program to guarantee territorial competitiveness conditions.

The tax reduction aligns with the path of competitiveness promoted by Milei

The reduction of the tax burden on the productive sector is in line with the principles of competitiveness promoted by the national economic model. The reduction of Gross Income tax creates more attractive conditions for investment and lays the groundwork for genuine growth in formal employment. Meanwhile, it encourages the establishment of industries and companies in strategic areas of the interior.

The Gross Income tax is one of the most distortionary within the Argentine tax structure, especially due to its cascading effect. Its partial reduction, in sectors with potential and investment deficit, represents a positive signal for regional development. In addition, it fosters a more business-friendly environment, which is vital to reverse years of local economic stagnation.

The path of deregulation, tax cuts, and improvement of the investment climate is one of the pillars of Javier Milei's economic plan. The tax reduction announced in Córdoba adds to multiple signals in the country that mark a new direction to attract capital and boost the economy. Measures like this move in the right direction to unlock the productive potential of Argentina's interior.
