Presumptive tax regimes (also known as simplified tax regimes) intend to reduce tax compliance costs for micro and small businesses (and enforcement costs for the tax administration) while levying a lower tax burden as compared to the standard tax system.

This working paper compiles detailed information on the presumptive tax regimes existing in a selection of OECD and non-OECD countries, identifies common practices adopted across the countries examined and provides multiple examples of best practices observed in these regimes. These examples can serve as guidance to policy makers and tax administrations to strengthen particular features of the presumptive tax regimes implemented in their jurisdictions. Lastly, the paper highlights the main challenges generally observed in the presumptive tax regimes under study, which might undermine the role of these regimes in incentivising business formalisation and strengthening tax compliance over time.

This dataset comprises statistics pertaining to pensions indicators.It includes indicators such as occupational pension funds’asset as a % of GDP, personal pension funds’ asset as a % of GDP, DC pension plans’assets as a % of total assets. Pension fund and plan types are classified according to the OECD classification. Three dimensions cover this classification: pension plan type, definition type and contract type.
This dataset includes pension funds statistics with OECD classifications by type of pension plans and by type of pension funds. All types of plans are included (occupational and personal, mandatory and voluntary). The OECD classification considers both funded and book reserved pension plans that are workplace-based (occupational pension plans) or accessed directly in retail markets (personal pension plans). Both mandatory and voluntary arrangements are included. The data includes plans where benefits are paid by a private sector entity (classified as private pension plans by the OECD) as well as those paid by a funded public sector entity. Data are presented in various measures depending on the variable: millions of national currency, millions of USD, thousands or unit.

La pobreza en Uruguay aumentó del 3.6% en 2016 al 5.2% en 2020 debido, en parte, a las repercusiones de la pandemia de COVID-19, pero sigue siendo muy inferior al promedio, 26.3%, registrado en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). La pobreza extrema también aumentó en ese periodo, pasando del 0.2% al 0.3%, y se sitúa igualmente por debajo del promedio de ALC (8.7%). La población que vive en hogares completamente informales prácticamente se redujo a la mitad –del 28.5% en 2008 al 16.3% en 2018– situándose por debajo del promedio de ALC del 36.3% en 2018. En lo que respecta a los indicadores medioambientales, en 2019 se registraron emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) per cápita de 10.4 toneladas equivalentes de dióxido de carbono (t CO2e), superiores a los promedios de ALC (6.3) y de los países miembros de la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) (9.1). Ese año, la proporción de población expuesta a niveles de contaminación del aire que suponen un riesgo para la salud humana (PM2.5 a más de 10 µg/m3) fue del 26.5%, situándose muy por debajo del 95.4% registrado en ALC y del 61.0% en los países miembros de la OCDE. La zona marina protegida de Uruguay representó el 0.75% de sus aguas territoriales en 2021, muy por debajo del 7.3% registrado en ALC y del 18.6% en la OCDE. En materia fiscal, los ingresos tributarios ambientales supusieron el 1.8% del producto interno bruto (PIB) en 2020, por encima de ALC (1.0%) pero ligeramente por debajo de la OCDE (2.1%). El total de ingresos tributarios expresado como porcentaje del PIB (26.6%) en 2020 siguió siendo superior al promedio de ALC (21.9%) aunque inferior al promedio de la OCDE (33.5%).
