description There is general acceptance that our current tax “system” has serious drawbacks. But there are also notable differences regarding which are the advisable reforms. To sort the approach to the subject matter, the basic regulatory criteria in which any proposal of a new advisable tax system rests are set out, derived from the academic literature on Public Finance and the practical experience of other nations. Fiscal relations are a part of the rules, rights and faculties of each of the sectors, established in the institutional system that defines the National Constitution. Recent progress in the political economy and the institutional economy have produced important results for the understanding of the interrelations in the economic and institutional systems, and they are applicable to the tax system. The work seeks to incorporate these new contributions to derive regulatory criteria. On the other hand, a tax reform is a complex phenomenon. This is a change on an existent system that has to continue working with important effects on the transition. A tax reform is an institutional change of significant importance. This advises to define matters such as the political-economical system where the institutional reform and order will be applied, which will rule the relationship between the taxpayer citizen and the treasury, the scope of the use of power, the relationship between rules and discretion.

Hay aceptación general que nuestro actual “sistema” tributario tiene inconvenientes graves. Pero también hay diferencias notorias respecto cuáles son las reformas aconsejables. Para ordenar el tratamiento del tema se exponen los criterios normativos básicos en los que se apoya cualquier propuesta de un sistema tributario aconsejable, derivados de la literatura académica sobre Hacienda Pública y la experiencia práctica de otras naciones. Las relaciones fiscales son una parte de las normas, derechos y facultades de cada uno de los sectores, establecidas en el sistema institucional que define la Constitución Nacional. Los recientes avances de la economía política y de la economía institucional han producido resultados importantes para la comprensión de las interrelaciones en los sistemas económicos e institucionales y ellos son aplicables a los sistemas tributarios. El trabajo procura incorporar estos nuevos aportes para derivar los criterios normativos. Por otra parte, una reforma tributaria es un fenómeno complejo. Se trata de un cambio sobre un sistema ya existente que debe “seguir funcionando” con importantes efectos en la transición. Una reforma tributaria es un cambio institucional significativamente importante. Esto aconseja definir cuestiones como el sistema económico-político donde se va aplicar la reforma y el orden institucional que va reglar las relaciones entre el ciudadano-contribuyente y el fisco, el alcance del uso del poder, la relación entre reglas y discrecionalidad.  Facultad de Ciencias Económicas.
