Exactly, this is my point. Let's say the flight price on Expedia is 1500 dollars. But that $1500 INCLUDES the 35% "travel tax" already for the flight originating in Argentina. Now, if I then purchase that flight with my Argentine CC, the bank sees Expedia as an international purchase and...

So, I'm still not sure about one thing. If I want to book a flight on a U.S. site with an Argentine CC (because I now can't find the flight on any Argentine sites but can find it on US sites), will I be charged the 35% like I usually am on my credit card for purchases on US sites on top of the...

I don't know what the story with Delta is, but this is a flight leaving the States if I am looking at it correctly. I think everyone is in agreement that no one should pay this 35% tax or whatever you want to call it on flights originating outside Argentina with a foreign credit card. But if I...

Hmmm, glad to see I'm not the only one confused! Thank you, Rich One, for reminding me about Asatej. I actually did find the flight I want on their site! All that being said, not sure if this helps, but the same flight I found on Kayak (in dollars) EZE to DFW and back definitely included the...

Hi everyone. The direct flight I want to Dallas is no longer available on Despegar, nor are they showing any dates even close. But I found it on Kayak for about the same price it was on Despegar. If I paid with my Argentine credit card, would they charge me the 35% international purchase tax on...

Matiasba, who's your dentist?

So I'm reading this and feeling dumb. We're going to Colonia tomorrow and staying a bit outside the town for the long weekend. What makes the most sense as far as getting the best rate for Uruguayan pesos? Use my Argentine debit card at the ATM in Colonia? Use my US debit card? Take dollars? I...

My suspicion is that aduana won't know, either. But it never hurts to ask so ask away. I could only come up with this article (below) about residents of Mendoza having lots of trouble picking up used clothing and toys sent to them from family members in the States. The form doesn't apply because...

Oh, yes, this was awful. Mine screamed the whole time. They called in for "reinforcements" (other employees) to help keep her still enough to get ALL 10 FINGERS. And it's not just stick the finger on the digital screen and go...the computer has to actually scan and accept it as a valid print...

Hi Irina, Any chance you could also send me your carpenter's contact info? Thanks!

Definitely exists. Pay is not good, though. On the TD Ameritrade commercial I mentioned they were paying $250 pesos for an 8-hour day. They pay for your lunch but separate you from all the "talents" (as they call the "real actors") as if you were pawn scum. The highest I have heard is 500 pesos...

Carlsberg beer - Also shot here in 2012. You'll recognize Plaza Tribunales at the end. Anyway, there are tons.

Yep! I shot for one - TD Ameritrade - in Microcentro. (Don't ask where I am. It was between me and the grandma at 0:13 and the Grandma won.) Lots of fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZC1ureryCA&feature=em-uploademail The train station is Constitución! TD shot another one here as well. The...

And I just found the info I was hoping for, in case this helps anyone in the future. If I do sign up for ingresos brutos, I will be charged 3%. As of now I am charged 4% of sales. Chart here: http://www.agip.gov.ar/web/files/Anexo%207%20res%20939-agip-%202013.pdf

Interesting. I'm almost positive I've had more than 10 sales in a month in the past and have not been charged. Maybe not. When chatting with a ML representative she referred to "caso C" below (more than 10K - you'll see they lowered it from 20K) which is my case this month. Anyway, good to know...

I don't necessarily mind being under the radar. I work in blanco and ML is something on the side, and I'm interested in doing it right. You sell an iPhone or two and you hit 10K easily. Different accounts is to be considered, though!

Hi, This now applies to me on MercadoLibre. The tax popped up on my bill this month. I'm monotributista but don't pay IIBB (ingresos brutos). Has anyone gone through the Ingresos Brutos process in CABA and know what you need? On MercadoLibre I keep getting the message that I'll be a...

apologies, deleted.

Yes, of course, it's a big world out there. My reason is very simple. Family is very important to both of us, and we have always and continue to agree that we wouldn't want to live anywhere where we don't have family nearby.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel when I go home. And then my fellow average Americans' lack of culture just drives it home for me. My Argentine husband and I were at the grocery store with my mom, and our daughter had fallen asleep in the stroller. We didn't want to put her in the car and...
