According to recent data, collection fell by \u00a213.975 billion, reflecting a differentiated performance among the various sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Among the factors that could explain this result are the slowdown in some economic activities and changes in consumption patterns. The behavior of the VAT constitutes one of the main indicators of the country\u2019s economic dynamics, since it taxes a large portion of the transactions involving the sale of goods and the provision of services.<\/p>\n<p>The evolution of this tax will be one of the aspects that the Tax Administration will continue to monitor throughout the rest of the year, due to its importance within fiscal revenues and public finances.<\/p>\n<style>\r\n.lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{\r\n            \r\n            margin-top: 40px;\nmargin-bottom: 30px;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-title{\r\n
