You need more than an accountant. The accountant calculates the amount and prepares the return. But you need another person (an Argentina tax payer) to stand in for you as the tax payer, pay the amount electronically on your behalf and assume the risk before the tax authority. The bienes...

However, you also have to find someone willing to be your representative to the tax authority and pay the wealth tax on the property on your behalf.

Whilst all the above is true, the Florida Street anecdote is just illustrative of how normal it is. Living in Recoleta, you will quickly discover discreet businesses (often an office where people pay their utility bills) that you simply enter and, instead of paying a bill, buy pesos in a booth...

The caveat is do not be outside the country the day your precaria expires. As others have said, once you have your precaria, you are no longer a tourist and the need to leave or renew that tourist "visa" after 90 days disappears. You can come and go from Argentina while on precaria status. Doing...

and the agreement can't be fully understood in isolation from a detailed understanding of each country's tax residency loss and acquisition legislation.

OK, good luck. I'm fairly experienced too with legal language, but even so was caught out by a drafting slight of hand in my agreement. There is poor drafting in mine that needs professional interpretation. And some terms aren't defined: the lawyers can supply their real world meaning.

Is that your reading of the double tax treaty or that of an accountant or tax lawyer? Be very sure. (When I consulted my profesional, he corrected my reading of my tax treaty.)

(Apologies for the multiple postings) It's a complicated matter, but conceptually we can simplify the steps. You need a Holanda accountant to tell you (now) when and in what circumstances a Holanda taxpayer loses Holanda tax residency under Holanda tax legislation. At the same time (i.e...

To "prevent taxation in [your] previous European country" (Holanda, presumably), you have to organize your financial affairs in such a way that on the date you first meet the definition (under Argentina's ganancias tax legislation) of tax resident in Argentina (a date on which you will almost...

Wouldnt the procedure be to establish with Holanda that under the double tax agreement you longer meet the definition of tax residency in Holanda but instead Argentina? And the statement from the Holanda tax authority to that effect would be the document you present to the Holanda pension fund...

I got a chuckle out of this. Exactly the same advice I give to people. This is a fascinating thread for the way we are revealing our mental stereotypes about the world. The initial post set the tone: an "American" would stand out in Argentina (where everybody is an American and the normal...

We didn't get into this matter in more than a cursory way as it's not relevant to my particular case. As has been said many times on this board, each individual with significant income and assets in play needs to get their own advice from an accountant or lawyer (or both) before they consider...

Steve, you have previously posted here the amount of your pension income. The reason you are exempt from tax on it in Argentina is not because foreign pensiones are, generally, exempt from tax in Argentina (they are not) but because the amount of your particular pension is below the minimum...

If only it were true. After posting regularly on this issue since 2020, recent progress in my own migration process meant the time had come to get to the bottom of the matter once and for all, so I contracted an expensive taxation lawyer here in Buenos Aires specialized in cross-border...

Personally introduced to and shaken hands with two serving presidents (one of whom was rolling drunk at the time and didn't so much shake my hand as high-5 it) and one serving PM. Met more informally one future president and one future PM, and one past president and one past PM. Shared a plane...

That is what I suspect too. The banks probably just receive fairly general edicts from the regulators about how to control for money laundering and terrorism financing prevention etc, and then they determine their own internal rules for how to comply, including limits per month or year.

As a neutral, I only watched the debate to see how badly Biden would do. Yes, he lost his train of thought once or twice. But I was surprised how well he did overall in what was nearly 2-hours. So much so, that I nodded off eventually and woke up a little before the end. Immediately it finished...

Have you thought about naming him Sergio, after your favorite economist, and having him cloned?

There doesn't seem to be much interest in the weather reports. You might generate more discussion if you stick to the winning formula of prolific political commentary. With a day passed between your penultimate post and your last one, and no comment from anyone else in between, and nothing from...

Once we become a tax resident in Argentina (in simplified terms, after completing 12 months as a temporary resident on the program run by Migraciones), our overseas pensions are taxable as ganancias if they are above the minimo no imponible (still around 3,500,000 pesos per month after the...
