quantitative research methodology of descriptive, non-experimental correlational, and longitudinal type. The results obtained

indirect taxes prevail. It is concluded that tax policies have a significant impact on the General Budget of the State, this
relationship is because the higher the tax revenues collected, the lower the fiscal deficit or vice versa.
