    Aguinaldo, What Are The Rules?

    I've already accepted and been working here for about 6 months, was hoping to see if anyone knew a website with the rules before I started a conversation with them. Always good to know what to expect first.

    Aguinaldo, What Are The Rules?

    Hi! Does anyone know anything about the rules of Aguinaldo or a website that explains who is eligible? Are foreigners included? I am working in blanco here, but for a "foreign-based" company with an office here, so I am not sure if I am eligible to receive it with my salary. Is there also a...

    Converting Pesos To Dollars At Government Fixed Rate

    Bringing it back to this old post... but finally starting this process, and am wondering if I can bring the AFIP print out to any bank to retrieve the dollars? Or it has to be a bank here that I have an account in? Do all Argentine banks process the dollar applications? How do I go about...

    Contribuciones From Salary? Anyone Working In White To Help?

    Understood, thank you! I feel like it is unlikely for it to be approved... But at least, as of 2015, it is no longer impossible to make the request for exemption. The application results supposedly take 2 months.

    Contribuciones From Salary? Anyone Working In White To Help?

    No, you are incorrect (to those who said contribuciones are mandatory). My company provided me with the exemption application. It is only for temporary workers under 2 years, once you remain employed in the country longer than that you are ineligible. And contribuciones are in fact deducted...

    Contribuciones From Salary? Anyone Working In White To Help?

    I am not looking for an exemption on taxes, only on contribuciones. They are different. Contribuciones are not given to the government like taxes are, they are collected and returned to me at retirement. I am eligible to pay taxes, of course, but I am not eligible to receive jubilacion funds...

    Good Place To Look For Affordable Home Decoration Items?

    I've got furniture covered, but need decorations... paintings, rugs, pillows, that sort of thing. Any suggestions of where to go? Looking for something cheaper than the BA Design Mall. Do they have decorations at Mercado de las Pulgas or just furniture?

    Thank you for the help everyone! The problem was actually not a problem after all. After arguing with Xoom a few times over the phone, I went into the More Casa Central and spoke to the first worker I saw and explained what had happened, showed them the emails saying Transaction Completed and...

    Package Stuck At Customs/lost... Help

    How do you complete form 4550 if you don't have a CUIT/CUIL/CDI? My work visa is in process so I haven't received my DNI/CUIL number yet. I don't see anywhere to print out the form and bring it, I only see the option to fill it out online in your AFIP account (with entrance via CUIL). Also, in...

    Package Stuck At Customs/lost... Help

    There is no way that taking the tracking number print out from the Correo Argentino website to Aduana Retiro could help the process (says on the Correo site that it is at aduana)? Worked once with a bus ticket refund... I showed my face enough times at the CATA booth in Retiro and got them on...

    Does anyone know of any non-professional cooking classes in BA? I'm looking for something casual, maybe once a week or every other week, nothing too expensive. I know they are typically pricy, but hoping someone knows of a good alternative!
