## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, source-cited income tax rates for Latin American countries backed by official government gazettes or central-bank statements, rather than scraped or crowd-sourced tax databases. It is especially valuable when downstream use requires a verifiable primary source URL, an effective date, and a staleness indicator — for legal, compliance, or financial modeling contexts where accuracy provenance matters.

## Known failure modes

- Country not supported — only 12 LatAm countries are covered (ar, br, cl, co, cr, do, ec, gt, mx, pe, py, uy)
- Value returned as null with explanatory notes when no honest primary-source figure exists (e.g. discontinued rates)
- Stale flag set to true if data has not been recently confirmed against official source
- Rate changes between confirmation cycles may mean returned value lags reality — always check effective_from and last_confirmed

## How this service works

Authoritative Latin American government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Argentina (ar), Brazil (br), Chile (cl), Colombia (co), Costa Rica (cr), Dominican Republic (do), Ecuador (ec), Guatemala (gt), Mexico (mx), Peru (pe), Paraguay (py), Uruguay (uy). Every value carries a citation to its official primary source (government gazette or central-bank statement), an effective date, a last-confirmed date and a staleness flag.

## Output

A JSON object containing the income tax rate value (or null with explanation if unavailable), the series identifier, country code, unit, effective date, last confirmed date, staleness flag, an official source citation with URL and name, and a disclaimer about independent service status.

  "notes": "Served as null on purpose. On 2025-07-10 the BCRA discontinued the Letras Fiscales de Liquidez (LeFi) and, with them, ended the tasa de política monetaria that had functioned as its reference rate. Under the current monetary-aggregates regime the BCRA controls the quantity of money and lets interest rates be determined endogenously by market supply and demand — it no longer sets or publishes a single policy rate, so no honest primary-source figure exists for this field. The nearest published benchmark the BCRA and market now watch is the TAMAR (Tasa Mayorista de Argentina, based on 30–35 day wholesale time deposits of ARS 1bn+): 22.63% TNA for 30-day deposits per BCRA data as of 2026-07-14 (https://www.lamacro.ar/variables), but this is a market-calculated rate, NOT a BCRA-set policy rate, so it is reported here only as context. Because inflation and money-market rates move fast, re-verify on a short cycle. History below shows the last explicit policy rates before abolition.",
