Subsequently, in less than a decade, 22 tax reforms were launched, therefore it is important to review the definitive impact that these Tax Reforms have had on tax collection, as well as on the increase in public spending at the national level. It is observed that as a result of the implementation of this expansive fiscal policy, the Ecuadorian economy experienced economic growth, evidencing the dependence of spending on the country's oil revenues. As such, when these had a fall, they caused a serious effect on public finances, because the country had not diversified its sources of income, based on new forms of tax collection that were more efficient and durable in the long term. |
