PEDRONI, Florencia. Argentine Tax System Factors: Incentive or Disincentive to Firm Informality? Perception of Traders and Public Accountants. Finanz. polit. econ. [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.1, pp.243-278.  Epub 31-Maio-2024. ISSN 2248-6046.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revfinanzpolitecon.v16.n1.2024.10.

This work aims to describe how the factors of the tax system and the characteristics of the organization influence firm informality in Argentina. Methodologically, qualitative-descriptive research was carried out with primary data collected through interviews with commercial entrepreneurs and public accountants from Bahía Blanca city (Buenos Aires, Argentina). A qualitative content analysis was performed using theory-based coding. According to the results, the tax burden, the design and application of fiscal controls, the consequences of non-compliance, and the administration and destination of fiscal resources are factors of the tax system that influence firm informality; while size, taxpayers' typology, economic sector, type of client, tax domicile and location, and means of payment are characteristics of the organization and the operation with influence on the phenomenon. In addition, the interaction between factors discourages tax compliance. The findings contribute to the formulation of public policies to reduce informality.
