Overview
Argentina's tax revenue stood at 10.46% in 2025, a rise of +0.53% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 10.46% by 2025. Argentina ranked 104th globally.
Argentina's tax revenue has exhibited a fluctuating trend over the past 35 years, with a significant peak in 2008 at 13.32 percent of GDP. This was the highest level recorded since 1990, when the indicator bottomed out at 4.84 percent, the same value seen in the earliest available data. Since then, tax revenue has generally trended upward, albeit with some volatility, reaching a recent low of 10.46 percent in 2025. This value ranks Argentina 104th globally, ahead of countries such as Tajikistan, but behind nations like Germany, which recorded a tax revenue of 10.28 percent in 2025. The recent decline in tax revenue may be attributed to various economic factors, including a decrease in economic activity and changes in government policies. To alter this trajectory, Argentina may need to implement more effective taxation systems, foster economic growth, and enhance its tax collection efficiency, potentially leading to improved tax revenue performance in the future.
