Public finance is at the core of an inclusive development model for Latin American countries. EUROsociAL is supporting the development of effective, functional, equitable and sustainable tax systems adapted to the capacities of the different countries, with the aim of increasing the fiscal space for financing social policies. The challenge is to contribute to the creation of more progressive tax systems—on both the public spending side and the revenue side—that can contribute to reducing these income disparities and improving public services.
EUROsociAL is involved in the process of improving tax systems from a comprehensive perspective: on the one hand, by working in the area of planning, budgeting and evaluation in an attempt to strengthen the links between these issues; on the other, in designing, raising awareness of and implementing initiatives for increasing public revenue.
