Argentine road toll and tax debates

Overview

In Argentina, officials are debating various toll proposals and tax reforms. In La Pampa, Governor Sergio Ziliotto has proposed a toll on heavy trucks with five or more axles transporting silica sand to the Vaca Muerta oil fields to mitigate the strain on provincial routes 1, 14, and 18. This plan suggests allocating 90% of revenue to a Development and Conservation Road Fund and 10% to municipalities.

Simultaneously, discussions have occurred regarding Ruta Nacional 11 and Ruta Nacional 5. In the northeast, officials sought clarification on pending concessions for Ruta 11, while a municipal council rejected new toll stations on Ruta 5 unless they are tied to verifiable safety and infrastructure improvements.

By late August, legislative activity in La Pampa expanded to include a proposal by Deputy Noelia Viara to permanently abolish the Stamp Tax (Impuesto de Sellos) by January 1, 2027, to boost regional competitiveness. The provincial government also continued preparations for a bill to implement road tolls via the ‘Fideicomiso Rutas Pampeanas’ to manage infrastructure maintenance.
