    Argentina: Inflation Resumes Its Decline, But ...

    Some changes last week to the government lifting banking regulations affecting dollar bank-bank transfers making it easier to send and receive dollars within the regular banking system. They also removed the requirement to get central bank approval for dollar transactions over $10.000, raising...

    How an Argentine Can Get a Bank Account in the USA

    I think it depends more on the country of residence you tell the IRS and/ or your bank - if it is listed as "Argentina" then it gets swept up in the automatic data dumps delivered to AFIP. It is in no way a targeted hunt for DNI holders in the US which is after all just one of hundreds of other...

    How an Argentine Can Get a Bank Account in the USA

    Ojo, from memory the they did ask for a US address to set up the account, can be friends or family, but this can be different to the correspondence mailing address you register which can be anywhere in the world.

    How an Argentine Can Get a Bank Account in the USA

    It is very easy, or at least for me it was. I have done it myself in California and am not a US citizen. Opened one last year. Make an appointment or walk-in off the street (Chase, USBank, BoA), have an interview with a banker explaining why you need it, fill out the forms, pay the minimum...

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    Crazy to think that double digit inflation seems "normal" and a welcome relief after almost two years of triple digit inflation. "Just" 60% is like going back to 2019... perhaps by the end of the decade it will be down to single digits as it was pre-2009...

    What's the reality of safety in Buenos Aires?

    Kidnapping, not really a thing since the early 2000s. Violence on the street, most commonly in conjunction with robbery, can and does happen like anywhere but also not as bad as say Brazil or Colombia and risk can be reduced by sticking to nicer areas and applying common sense. “Targeted”...

    The AFIP no longer requires rental contracts to be registered

    https://www.afip.gob.ar/572Web/carga-datos/alquileres.asp Tax deductions for rental expenses have always existed. You need to be registered as an employee, pensioner or autonomo to access them however. Here is the guide on how to do it and register the contract.

    The AFIP no longer requires rental contracts to be registered

    They are instead appealing to tenants to register rental contracts in order to be able to deduct their rent payments from their own income tax bills, rather than depend on landlords declaring contracts in order to be able to pay tax on their rental income. A shift towards encouraging compliance...

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

    100% agree each person should decide for themselves, and most importantly seek professional advice from an accountant not a forum of foreigners with a superficial (if that..) understanding of Argentine taxation, laws and language. For those with a genuine interest in the subject, it starts with...

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

    Not quite, depositing money in a special account just avoids/ minimises the penalties due. Only physical cash needs to be deposited in order to be declared. Anything else, you decide what to do with it and where to keep it. The penalty due depends on: - When you enrol - How much you declare -...

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

    Good post. Important to point out that more than policy, it is likely limited only by the systems and information AFIP has at its disposal to detect tax irregularities and be able to confront infractions without being exposed to a lengthy and costly wild goose chase to collect a few thousands...

    Former president Alberto Fernandez accused of domestic violence... and corruption

    Deny. Deny. Deny. Then someone discovers the chats and photos and it becomes a case of denying the denial. Just like the vacunatorio VIP. Just like the insurance scandal. Not like this guy does not have a violent character that has been caught on camera before...

    Argentina must repudiate its debt

    History will likely just repeat. The last time there was no CEPO (for a few very short years prior to 2019) the Blue (informal) dollar was actually worth slightly less than the official dollar - in practice only used as an option for those that had dirty money or tourists that wanted to avoid...
