At some point the tax became known as Inmobiliario/ABL and is actually broken down on the bill into part that is a direct property tax and part that goes to pay for street sweeping, hygiene and street lights. The combined tax represents about 4.6% of the CABA government tax revenue.

ABL is in fact a property tax, at least in the City of Buenos Aires. It is literally a tax assessed on real property; currently I pay about $2400 USD per year per property in ABL which is not insignificant.

I would not recommend someone get into the Airbnb game now; most of the market is saturated. A few years ago the cost to renovate and outfit real estate was only a fraction of what it costs today. Operating expenses (gas, electricity, internet, water, ABL, etc etc ) have gone way up.

Unfortunately economics is not a hard science and implementing economic policies that have worked in most/many places is often politically very difficult/ unfeasible. Argentina and Japan are infamous for having defied "the laws of economics" with outcomes that are the exact opposite of each...

You keep referring to Norway as if that is some sort of model that Argentina could even dream of replicating. Norway has a population of about 5.5 million people, AAA sovereign credit rating, and a culture/society/work ethic that is total different than Argentina. Argentina has a population...

You think exactly like the Kirchneristas, Communists, etc. This type of thinking is the exact reason why Argentina is a complete economic basket case despite having an abundance of marketable natural resources. The governments of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have similar thinking and they...
