    Expat Tax Advice - Looking For Accountant

    My understanding is that the tax regime the initial poster is talking about is the following: If you move to Argentina for work, then for a period of 5 years you do not pay any taxes on income other from what you earn in Argentina ("En este caso, sólo quedarán sujetas a impuesto en la Argentina...

    Hidden Brain Drain Threatens Argentina’s Recovery

    Cecilia, you used to work for 2500 USD (an excellent local salary btw), and is earning now 6000 USD a month, is the victim here? She lives like a king now. I only see a win-win-situation as far as her and the company in the US are concerned. If you want to construct a victim, then it is probably...

    So, is there a reason to have a bank account in Argentina?

    Even more that the program of the government (opening USD accounts for tourists in order to bring USD here) does not seem to work, to say the least. According to infobae, not a single account has been opened yet. Not only that, not a single request came in ... Only in Argentina ....

    River vs Boca - March 20th

    It is not impossible, and if you are willing to pay good money then you could possibly do it. In 2018 I went to the River - Boca game in Libertadores. I got the ticket via Viagogo. I paid about 1000 bucks for that, and it all worked well with them. When the game then got finally cancelled, I...

    Medical check for work contract

    When the time ever comes to give up my remote work, then I will definitely start to think about moving back. Or go into retirement here. So the check today was also about the first menstruation (probably some 20 years back) ... , all kind of intimate questions, an x-ray scan; and the result...

    Visiting BA in April. Have questions.

    Regarding fake pesos bills: the highest denomination bill (1000 pesos) has a value of ca 4 USD. This makes it not economical to counterfeit them. There might be some old fake 1000 bills going around (when it was worth a bit more), but generally this is not a big problem at the moment. At least I...

    Medical check for work contract

    Apparently before you get to the point of signing a work contract, you are obliged (by law, I guess) to do a medical check. A couple of years ago my wife was about to sign a temporary contract, but then the blood test in the medical check said she was pregnant (we barely knew ourselves at that...

    Declaring more than 10,000 USD in cash

    In the end it turned out that it was fake Rolex he bought for 10 USD on a trip to Thailand the month before. Just kidding. There are plenty of ways to get USD cash in hand here, even if you don't have a bank account. Obviously you need to know the right, trustworthy people. I usually pay about...

    Bien de familia

    There was recently a case in the media where football player Lavezzi got separated from his model girlfriend after 8 years (infobae). I know, full of clichés… She eventually had to leave his luxury apartment where she lived in after the separation. In a separate process she is claiming 15m USD...

    Booster shot in CABA

    Are there no private providers/clinics of booster jabs in CABA, as in other countries? I dont mean to jump the queue (as i understand there are sufficient vaccines here), but I am also not very keen to deal with local bureaucracy here (even more as I dont have a DNI).

    Bien de familia

    As far as I know not, but I guess she would have to give her consent if I wanted to sell it at one point. Now I am living in a stable marriage/relationship, but I don't think "this can never happen to me!" ... My thinking is: if it ever came to a divorce, she would remain in the house anyway...

    Bien de familia

    Thanks. I have a couple of procedure questions: Do I need to have a DNI to do this (as it is a requisite liste in the webpage)? And (theoretically ... ) could I choose any combination of wife and kids (e.g. only kids) or is this always the whole family? And what are the actual benefits of...

    Bien de familia

    Hi I bought a house in CABA in 2017. I am foreigner (non-resident) and married to Argentinian wife with two young kids. The house is in my name. A lawyer friend recommended me to put the house as bien de familia. Is there any downside to this?
