THE DIVISIONS OF THE REFORM
The inequality Colombia currently living now put it between
the countries of orb with most disparity, the salaries increases are inferior to
the increments of working factors and the division between the social classes
become every time more visible.
The idea that President Santos sold with the new tax
reform was to correct the inequity, labor informality attack, simplify tax
procedures and maintain constant parafiscal, simplify tax procedures and
maintain constant parafiscal, however, contrary to that expressed by the
government and the Congress, tax reform is regressive. Under the pretext of
encouraging investment and generate formal employment decreased direct taxation
and indirect taxes were increased, thus, lowered the fare of income tax applicable
to legal persons (companies) and parallel, increased products and services
subject with the IVA sales tax.
If the government's idea was that "those who earn
more, pay higher taxes" this is not reflected clearly with IMAN
application, as it is below the income tax obtained with the system ordinary, which
generate a significant difference when assuming housing interest expenses, prepaid
health payments, pension savings, among others, because it higher-income
taxpayers will have a greater ability to cover the same costs, without paying
the tax; likewise with the expansion of products affected by IVA and the
creation of new consumption tax, are most affected natural person, and
therefore the lower middle class.
One of the major problems experienced by the current
government is the unemployment rate that reflects the country, which in
December 2012, reaching an average of 10.4% equivalent to 2'222 000 unemployed,
not to mention the increase that has been generated in recent years in the
informal economy which corresponds to 68% of the PEA, The solution that I raise
the government in tax reform was lower taxes and so motivate 1'000 .000
generation of jobs, however, this reduction does not guarantee the possibility
of additional employability, because this depends on the amount of corporate
profits, which is confirmed by previous studies on labor market, on the
contrary reflects that tax reforms generate instability in the Colombian labor
force, which entails to two out of every three Colombians generate their income
from their own business, are in the informal sector or in open unemployment.
