Deputy Carlos del Frade requested information on the gross revenues of the major companies in Santa Fe, highlighting that their billing far exceeds the provincial budget. The evidence points to a profound inequality, where a small group of corporations generates an economic volume greater than that allocated to meet the needs of millions of citizens, thereby revealing the roots of social disparity in the region. The analysis reveals that just five of these firms concentrate revenues significantly higher than the total budget for the following year. This discrepancy is exacerbated because many of these companies operate exempt from taxes on exports due to a historical constitutional provision, allowing their enormous commercial activity to pay taxes well below their actual economic capacity, thus limiting the resources available to the community. This article is relevant to open data because it illustrates how fiscal transparency and the publication of corporate financial statements are essential for demanding tax justice. By making visible the gaps between the wealth generated and the taxes paid, it promotes citizen accountability. The openness of this data allows civil society to base demands for tax reforms that prioritize public welfare over private interests, demonstrating the power of data to drive structural political changes.
