Database Specific Abstract AbstractARGENTINA: GENERAL METADATA
Data documentation
General notes
The fiscal year in Argentina coincides with the calendar year.
The Republic of Argentina is a federal country comprising twenty-three provinces and one autonomous city (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires - CABA), which is the capital city of the country.
Methodological notes
This inventory includes monetary transfers made by the National Administration to finance the current expenditures of different stakeholders related to the energy sector, including state-owned companies, private companies and trust funds. It also includes tax expenditures related to taxes on fuels (motor gasoline, diesel fuel and compressed natural gas). These are calculated by the government as revenue foregone when a tax treatment other than the one established in more general terms in the tax laws, or a different tax treatment to substitute goods, is provided (Ministerio de Hacienda y Finanzas Públicas, 2016).

Other Aspects Other Aspects Other comments Other comments Recommended uses and limitations Recommended uses and limitations1) Fiscal cost of support measures for fossil fuels are based on information reported by countries through official documentation (e.g. budget reports). Support measures for which such information is not available are excluded from the aggregate amount reported in this table. In addition, support measures in certain countries may not have been exhaustively identified.
2) Tax expenditures are estimates of revenue that is foregone due to a particular feature of the tax system that reduces or postpones tax payments (relative to a jurisdiction’s benchmark tax system) to the benefit of fossil fuels’ producers or users. Hence, (i) tax expenditures estimates can increase either because of greater concessions (relative to the benchmark tax system) or because of an increase in the benchmark itself; (ii) cross-country comparisons of tax expenditures can be misleading due to country-specific benchmark tax systems.
3) Support measures for fossil fuels are included in the Inventory without reference to their economic or environmental effects. No judgment is therefore made as to whether such measures are inefficient or ought to be reformed.
