Rewards for requesting receipts and refunds on purchases: details of an NGO's proposal to the Government to combat tax evasion

An NGO in Argentina has submitted a formal proposal to the government aimed at combating tax evasion and reducing the country's significant informal economy. The initiative introduces a system of rewards for consumers who request official receipts, alongside purchase refunds, to encourage formal transactions and curb unregistered sales.

The proposal addresses a persistent challenge in Argentina, where a substantial portion of commercial activity operates outside the formal financial and regulatory system, resulting in unrecorded purchases and missing transaction tickets that bypass state oversight.
