Introduction:

Since:

• The taxing powers of subnational governments are different.

• An unequal distribution of income and taxpayers is a fact.

• A fiscal jungle (approximately 500 different taxes) creates

inconvenients for every taxpayer, efficient collection,

expenditure sufficiency and the income distribution between

states.

It was necessary:

• To centralize the tax administration of national taxes.

• The administrative collaboration to take advantage of the efficiency

of subnational governments in certain taxes.

• The use of distribution formulas to transfer resources from the

Federal government to the States (earmarked and non earmarked).

• The introduction of redistributive and compensatory elements that

reduce or eliminate the horizontal inequity and estimulate the fiscal

efficiency in state revenue.

• The establishment of fiscal rules of coordination and fiscal

corresponsability.

The Fiscal Coordination in Mexico:

• Is the backbone of the mexican federalism.

• Its agenda includes income (tax policy and administration), expenditure (transfers, budget and accountability) and debt (public debt and pensions)

• Is an armonic system, that is perfectible.

A Finance Secretary in a Subnational Government:

• Is elected by the Governor.

• They are responsible for the management of the state public treasury, with functions as:

Definition of the state fiscal policy: income, expenditure and public debt.

Financial management. Tax administration and intergubernamental

coordination with the Federal government and the Municipalities.

Administrative collaboration due to the agreements signed with the Federal government in areas such as tax collection or fiscal supervision.

• Has a tenure of 6 years; can be reelected.

Basis of the National System of Fiscal Coordination (SNCF):

• The Fiscal Coordination Law (LCF).

• The Administrative Collaboration in Federal Fiscal Issues (CCAMFF)

• The Permanent Commission of Fiscal Functionaries.

• The Technical and Work Groups.

• .The Monitoring Committees of the system

• The transfers distribution system.

Non earmarked transfers

“Participaciones”:• The larger amount of resources is the one established in the General Fund of

“Participaciones” wich is made of the 20% of the RFP, to wich 1% is added due to the coordination in duties (Coordinación en Derechos).

• The Municipal Promotion Fund is 1% of the RFP.• Import and export of goods: 0.136 of the RFP• Oil Expostation 3.17% of the RFP.• Other transfers that are linked with sepecifc tax collection:

Tax on Special Products and Services (IEPS) (beer and alcoholic beverages): 20%

Tax on Special Products and Services (IEPS) (cigarrettes): 8%

Economic Incentives:• Possession (Tenencia), Tax on New Automobiles (ISAN): 100%• REPECOS and Intermediates (Minor and medium taxpayers): 100%• Federal non fiscal fines: 98%• Zofemat: Duties and execution costs (90%) and fines (100%)• Other Economic Incentives (variable)

Earmarked transfers:

• The grouping in a branch of the federal budget of the resources that are

destined to education, health, fight against poverty, public securyty, etc.

• The uilization of Descentralization agreements, imply the financial participation of

local governments (pari-passus): hidrological infrastructure, technological

education and agricultural development

• Additional resources destines to investment have been recently added:

- PAFEF, destined to financial saneamiento and investment in infrastructure. - Trust Fund for the Infrastructure in the Sates (FIES), resources that come

from the exceeding oil revenues (ARE).- Stabilization Fund for the Income of the Federal Entities, resources that

come from the extraordinary rights on the oil exportation.

• This resources are conditioned, distributed trough formulas that are concerted with the states and approved by Congress.

• Controlled to Congress and the Federation.

• Work with regulations decided between the states and the Federation.

¿What is the Fiscal Coordination in Mexico?:

• It is an agreement between the sub-national and the Federal governments that establishes the Fedral government is responsible for the administration of the most important taxes, such as the value added tax (IVA), the tax on personal and corportae income (ISR) and the special tax on products and services (IEPS).

• In exchange they receive “participaciones” a percentage of the sharable federal revenue (RFP).

• Through the agreement of administrative collaboration, the sates take part in the collection and fiscal supervision of federal taxes.

• This collaboration is done thrugh shared work programs, and the incentive the states have to participate is that they keep the 100 percent of what they collect.

In the SNCF the 32 Federal Entities are grouped in 8 zones

INDEX

¿How does the National System of Fiscal Coordination appear?

• Its origins were three National Fiscal Conventions (1925, 1933 and 1947) that made breakthroughs in:

The identification of fiscal problems, such as the multiplicity and concurrence of federal, state and municipal taxes.

The constitution of the Permanent Comission of the Second National Convention.

• The Fiscal Coordination Law (LCF) of 1953 united some states with an agreement, that eliminated local contributions in exchange for a tax sharing arrangement with the Federation.

• Since 1973 all states were coordinated by a reform to the Federal Law of Taxation on mercantile income, with a unique general rate of 4% aplicable in all the Republic; instead of a federal rate of 1.8% and a state rate of 1.2%

• In 1978, the 1953 LCF is repealed and a new Law of Fiscal

Coordination is approved. This law begins its application in 1980; it

constitues the legal basis of the National System of Fiscal coordination

(SNCF).• In 1980 the value added tax (IVA) is introduced and the SNCF begins

to operate, instead of a tax sharing arrengement for each particular tax,

it creates a global sharing arrengement based on the sharable federal

revenue (RFP).• Before 1980, the particular tax sharing arrengements created

problems in the administration and efficient distribution of

resources.• To solve this, the concept of sharable tax revenue is created.

• In 2001 the federal window of coordination with the federal entities is

strengthened with the establishment of the Unit of Coordination with

Ferderal Entities (UCEF) and by giving it complete fiscal coordination

powers: Income, Expenditure and Debt

B.There was an important advance in the search of equalization of the distribution of the “Participaciones” (since the 1990 reforms):

• The per capita wedge between the States that received more and the ones that received less was reduced from 6.4 to 3.8 times.

• In the FFM were included incentives to increase the local fiscal effort in the collection of property and water contributions.

C. The increase in the federal transfers has contributed to the fact that the consolidated debt of States and Municipalities has not grown in real terms betwen 1994 and 2004.

Of the proposals some have to be presented and voted in Congress and others have to do with administrtive collaboration and fiscal coordination between the Federation and the States.

D. National Convention of the Public States (CNH)

An important moment for the fiscal coordination was the National Convention of the Public States , in which the CPFF acted as Technichal Secretary. Some of the results were:

The reception of 452 Proposals

from the participants and

the society. The generation of 341 Proposals in 7 Tables of Analysis

The establishment of 7 General Objectives and 42 change strategies The generation of

323 agreements (taken by consensus) that were traduced in specific actions.
