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]

Why these sources, and not others

How the desk chose them

We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
