  That source does not show all the accounts (says in the details popup). If you use the information from the argentine tax collection agency statistics page [0] and divide that result by the GDP you get a wildly different result (e.g. 23% vs 10% for 2019 using the official data vs your source) [0] https://www.afip.gob.ar/institucional/estudios/ https://www.afip.gob.ar/institucional/estudios/ And either way, the data you show does not support your claim, they are not very correlated. You have a mostly flat tax collection rate on an economy with a yearly rising inflation rate since 2002.

    It excludes fines and social security payments. Perhaps it’s the pension system in Argentina that is causing the whole deficit? I’m on mobile so it’s currently a big more challenging to do proper research.

      Looks like it is. This site from the economic ministry says the "Servicios Sociales" (social services), is around 72% of all expenses (with social security as the highest spender) [0] [0] https://www.economia.gob.ar/onp/presupuesto_ciudadano/seccion3.php#gasto https://www.economia.gob.ar/onp/presupuesto_ciudadano/seccio...
