I don't earn any money in Argentina. I'm retired but live here six months per year and I'm married to an Argentine. I have residency.
Lately every time my wife goes to the bank she runs into some tramite where they insist that they (the bank) need to know my local tax number. I don't have one and don't want one. I don't foresee any situation where I would earn money in Argentina. I have a DNI from my residency. Now after her latest trip to the bank they want to know what my NIF in the US is. This is apparently a personal tax ID number in Argentina and they think the US must have something equivalent. I suppose the US equivalent would be the Social Security number but I don't really want to give that out. I don't like to give it out in the US but here? No way.
I have no objection to getting a local tax number as long as I don't have to pay tax on my pension income. I have Social Security and a private pension, both in the US.
So my question is: if I get a CUIT or CUIL, whichever is appropriate, will Argentina want to tax my US pensions?
My wife is a monotributista and she asked her accountant but got no answer on this.
