Abstract

Macroeconomic performance achievements in the region are not only the result of economic growth, but also of the expansion of social spending. Strengthening tax systems will underpin further decreases in economic disparity. This paper addresses tax system reforms in terms of their impacts on tax collection and social welfare specific to Mexico, Uruguay, Guatemala, Chile and Brazil, through detailed analysis of data and the construction of microsimulation models. This book constitutes the final outcome of the two-year project “Fiscal Schemes for Inclusive Development,” (known in Spanish as Fiscalidad para un Desarrollo Incluyente).
