For comparison: by the end of the full year 2025, the amount was significantly lower — 93.66 billion Argentine pesos ($61 million).
According to estimates from the consulting firm Empiria, accounting for inflation, real tax allocations for the first nine months of the year increased by about 42%. Consequently, their volume reached 0.03% of Argentina's GDP.
It is reported that the largest tax allocations in 2026 were recorded in July — 17.8 billion Argentine pesos ($11 million). At that time, decisive matches of the World Cup were taking place, and residents of the country were actively placing bets.
