I was not really surprised to hear a story like this. After all, what would you expect from this government which is equally incompetent and corrupt. What would you expect from this government that let the Campora play a big part in this campaign? However, i am really surprised that quick action...

I would be very surprised is short term rentals / Airbnb is excluded ... After all, the goal is to increase tax. But probably someone with more insight can shed some light here.

And in infobae was an article why it is more and more difficult to rent out under the local law (google translated): 1.- Hire an accountant to bill the rent. 2.- Register the contract with the AFIP. 3.- If you rent through a real estate agency, the full fees must be paid. This is equivalent...

This new law is all over the media now because as of March 1 the contracts need to be reported to AFIP. I might have missed this point in a conversation here (and also did not find anything in the media about it), but how do owners report it if they use platforms such as Airbnb? (probably not a...

We also bought a VW (T-Cross; thats basically a VW Golf who would like to be an SUV, but didn't make it .... somewhere in between) last year around June. We paid a bit more than USD 10k. Then we recommended our dealer to a friend who did the same deal a couple of months back with a VW Virtus. We...

In the current situation where vaccines are barely coming into the country, with the autumn / winter looming, it could even be that these conditions are not met until late 2021. Is it really an option to have no school for two years? It would even be disastrous from a social point of view...

Well, and I was wondering what Kristina was doing at the velatorio .... Probably she got her revenge for Menem claiming that she killed her husband

As others pointed out, in my opinion a clearly opportunistic move to make a political career. Born as a Muslim, converted to Catholicism, and then back to be buried as a Muslim ... However: in Argentina it seems it was never an issue whether he was Catholic or Muslim. In Europe or in the US...

In 2020, the annual inflation according to INDEC was 36%. This figure was significantly below 2018 and 2019. It goes without saying that the government was celebrating this "achievement". All good then? 1. Most analysts agree that the lower inflation in 2020 was due to the economic shutdown...

Bill Gates? Rothschild family? Or why do you think it is evil?

Someone has Alberto’s email address? Now that even his own party is abandoning him (“he is not a real peronist”), i am sure he could use a pat on his back, even if it is only from an expat forum

And for those brave enough to invest in real estate in Argentina: According to this article in Cronista the realized prices were between 20 and 25% below the listed prices. I am not sure if money paid "en negro" explains part of this though.

I found this thread interesting when the Covid crisis broke out. Now, we know the 2020 numbers. Real estate in 2020 lost about 6-7% compared to the year before...

The problem is that Alberto is in the stormy, open sea and has no clue where he is, no plan where he wants to go (remember the interview in the FT?), parts of his team are constantly undermining his authority with public letters. But sill, putting the blame for every misfortune on the way on...

I criticize the following points in Alberto's handling of the vaccination programme: 1) Again and again there were made totally unrealistic forecasts about the number of people being vaccinated in December / January. Even worse, government officials were contradicting each other repeatedly 2) It...

I would sue every investment firm and fund who is putting money in Argentina. Totally reckless.

What i used to do: i went to the WU in Peru / Av de Mayo, and instead of retrieving all the cash in hand i gave them the Mercado Pago number of my wife and deposited money from there. However: the last couple of times i indeed had a problem in doing that (it might might be that i exceeded the...

Do you have a Mercado Pago Account? Is it possible transfer from Mercado Pago to Wilo bank? When I go to WU to get my cash, usually I deposit some of the cash in my wife's Mercado Pago account. From there she transfers to her bank (which is Santander). Not ideal, I know, but this may be a work...

There are probably a couple of differences between the US visa program and this new tax 1) the visa costs do not apply for its own citizens. In fact, a lot of countries are exempt from this visa (Europe, Australia, Japan if I am not mistaken) 2) the visa is also used to minimize illegal...

Argentina is probably going to be one of the most expensive international destinations. Not only this new tax (WTF!! Campora in need for more money?) is contributing to this, probably more and more airlines leaving the market here; and who can really blame them?! Just another absurd example...
