3. A balanced approach to tax expenditures in Peru 68

A narrow benchmark and low uptake account for low revenue forgone estimates from TEs in past years, but this may change over time 69

The recent increase in the number of TEs approved presents fiscal risks and governance concerns 70

Reforms could enhance the effectiveness and reduce the fiscal cost of Peru's TE provisions 70

Notes 81

4. Payroll taxes and mandatory benefits 82

The labour tax wedge in Peru is not particularly high 83

Changes to the basic PIT allowance and the impact on the tax wedge 85

The tax wedge alone does not provide an accurate picture of formal labour costs 86

There could be scope to broaden the PIT and SSC bases, but the impact of these measures on the tax wedge needs to be carefully assessed 88

6. The tax design of special economic zones in Peru and peer countries 110

International experience with tax incentives could help inform the tax design in Peru's special economic zones (SEZs) 111

SEZs are not yet a significant feature of Peru's economy 111
