The Argentine tax agency ARCA reported that August tax revenue totaled $20.508.537 with a 33.5% year-over-year increase, aligning with inflation. [^1]

The Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA) reported that August tax revenue totaled $205 billion, representing zero real variation compared to the same month last year. [^2]

Income Tax revenue reached $4.636.836 million, marking a 45.2% year-over-year increase due to higher corporate advances and a lower use of favorable balances for other tax obligations. [^3]

Nadin Argañaraz, president of the Argentine Institute of Fiscal Analysis (IARAF), stated that real-term tax revenue in August remained at the same level as August 2025. [^4]

Net VAT revenue was $6.675.409 with a 25.3% year-over-year increase, while Imposed VAT increased 29.6% and Customs VAT increased 15.4%. [^5]

The government recorded two consecutive months without a decline in tax resources, with August showing zero real variation compared to the previous year. [^6]

The low comparison base influenced the results because rights that usually enter in August were advanced in June and early July 2025 due to a temporary tariff reduction under Decree 38/2025. [^7]

ARCA explained that a high growth in revenue from export rights contributed to the August figures. [^8]
