In an interview with Canal E, Fernanda Laiún analyzed the differential commission structure applied by Mercado Libre based on the province in which each seller operates, and its link to the local tax burden.

During the interview, Fernanda explained how this system highlights the weight of provincial taxes—particularly Gross Turnover Tax (Ingresos Brutos)—on commercialization costs. She also noted that differentiated commissions help make the tax impact in each jurisdiction more transparent, bringing renewed attention to tax asymmetries and their effect on sellers’ competitiveness.
