    AFIP will control your expenses in May: from what amounts should your bank report

    So, if AFIP nevet knows about these transfers, it males sense that: But not if you have temporary or permanent residency and do not use your DNI when making transfers? How could AFIP ever "connect the dots" if the resident always pays for everything they by with those funds in cash and never...

    Are Western Union transfers picked up in cash by those who have residency in Argentina with a DNI, but don't have an Argentine bank account, and use their foreign passport as an ID when they send money to themselves subject to the same scrutiny by AFIP?

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    Last week I paid (at a net exchange rate of $1300 to 1 USD) $2.79 per pound for the roast beef, $1.99 per dozen for the eggs, and $0.15 per litro of bottled water. I haven't lived in the USA since 2000 and have not been there since 2008 and I don't remember what the prices were there then. If...

    Thank you for the compliment. Just so you know (and can "visualize") where I live, Google Villa General Arias in Pcia. Bs.As. I live almost exactly one km from the plaza in the zona de las quintas, accessed via calle Guiraldes. Fruits and veggies already cost about the same here, but I...

    When foreigners leave Argentina permanently do they renounce their DNI?

    As far as I know, permanent residency expires two years after the "last" time you set foot on Argentine soil, and a DNI card "expires" fifteen years after the date it was first issued or renewed. Anyone who had permanent residency and returns to Argentina after a two year absence will be...

    Restaurants new law: obligatory tip up to 18%

    Even though I would never have to pay such a tax if it a was ever imposed and actually became obligatory, I'm happy that it does not yet exist. It would be a step in the wrong direction. That being said, the app sounds like a great idea, if it insures the servers get the money.

    Restaurants new law: obligatory tip up to 18%

    Sergio, whether intentional or not, you made a crucial disctinction when you used the word "imposed" after I used the word "implemented." Your choice of that word was more appropriate than mine.

    Restaurants new law: obligatory tip up to 18%

    Great point! This "tax" will undoubtedly serve to diminish any incentive "To lnsure Prompt" service, perhaps not as muchas a "guaranteed income" deminishes the desire to work, but at least to some degree, and it will clearly result in a decline in restaurant patronage. I will be very sorry to...

    Advice on bringing in declared income from the US?

    Since the 4x limit imposed on monthly transferers and deposits by the banks (at least Santander Rio) applies to anyone who has not registered with AFIP regarding their ingresos, all anyone should have to do for the banks to allow the higher level of monthly deposits is to regularize their...

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    He was already a hero to millions, perhaps to many if not most of the 81 million voters who cast their ballot for him in 2020. He is not a martyr. He missed that distinction by less than two inches. I assume you are referring to the shooter. Please clarify if you are not

    Tonight 2024 Presidential debate between President Biden and former President Donald Trump.

    After observing the immediate "piling on" JB by the left, I could only conclude the debate fiasco was a "set up" to get him out asap to prevent a defeat in November. Here's a great interpretation of what's happening: And here's a more detailed version;
