The territorial entities represent the State on behalf of its governors and within its functions is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of citizens and the socioeconomic development of the territories. To achieve this, they formulate development plans that involve plans, programs and projects whose financing is leveraged by resources transferred directly by the nation and by their own resources. For financing with their own resources, the territorial entities enjoy a certain autonomy, which is why they establish tax-type measures in terms of tax collections that are approved through departmental ordinances and that must be distributed in the community for its benefit. In this sense, the departments as territorial entities through the collection of departmental taxes tend to contribute to territorial development in social aspects.
