Santiago del Estero's 2026 Tax Moratorium has surpassed ARS4.631 billion in consolidated obligations through 3,661 payment plans. The first assessment by the General Revenue Directorate, headed by Matías Nazer, shows broad participation but also an uneven composition: taxpayers are joining in large numbers over vehicle-tax debts, while rural property tax accounts for the greatest monetary weight.
Payments already made and commitments financed occupy different places within that total. Reported cash collections reached ARS1,811,872,810.92, while financed plans included down payments of ARS359,615,576.43 and an outstanding financed balance of ARS2,459,533,519.99. These amounts describe money received and committed under each modality, rather than simply the number of filings.
That distinction is necessary when reading the 1,699 operations settled in cash for more than ARS1.630 billion. They represent roughly 46 percent of the 3,661 plans and are the most frequently used modality, but they do not by themselves equal the entire ARS1.81187 billion recorded as cash payments. The report thus separates completed operations from other amounts paid within the overall operation of the program.
The portion still under way contains the largest volume of financed debt. There are 1,534 active plans with down payments of ARS311.7 million and an outstanding balance of ARS2.0426 billion. They are joined by 219 issued plans carrying ARS414.8 million to be financed and 205 issued cash operations worth ARS182.1 million; the register lists only four financed plans as completed and none in default.
Vehicle tax explains the program's broad reach. Its 2,247 registrations account for more than 61 percent of the total and carry an average debt of about ARS390,000 per plan. Within that category, the authority recorded down payments of ARS680.1 million and financed amounts of ARS882.7 million, far more applications than for any other tax.
The map changes when monetary value is considered. Urban property tax ranks second by number, with 888 plans, ARS138.5 million in down payments and ARS86.9 million financed. Rural property tax, by contrast, has only 275 registrations but concentrates ARS1.2401 billion in down payments and ARS1.1853 billion in financed balances, making it the moratorium's largest component by value.
Gross turnover tax completes the main portion with 236 plans, ARS91.6 million in down payments and ARS234.3 million financed. The Multilateral Agreement category has nine plans and more than ARS70 million outstanding, Stamp Tax and Public Works Contributions have six, and the Social Repair Fund has no participants. The program's next development will therefore depend on the active and issued plans: they will determine how much of the consolidated debt is ultimately paid.
