Foreigners (Tourists & Non-Res) Cannot Use Ars For Travel

[TomAtAlki]

"The correct translation would be: According to the Argentine Income Tax law, residents pay taxes on the totality of their earnings. Non-residents only pay taxes on earnings acquired in Argentina."

"According to the Argentine Income Tax Law, Argentine citizens must pay income tax for their global income. Non-Argentinean residents must pay the tax only for the income obtained in Argentina."

Bradly, I appreciate your answers but now I am totally confused. Resident = AR citizen?

and "[background=rgb(252, 252, 252)]Before permanent resident you are a residente precario or irregular but always a resident because it means that you live here."[/background][background=rgb(252, 252, 252)] So an AR tax payer with temp residency?[/background]

My question is if I get a DNI and earn no money in AR and do earn money (Social Sec) in the US do I pay AR income tax on the earnings?

So this means all those whom lives by the Blue exchange in order to doin' the perma tourist life,no longer can take advantage of the Blue? Oh well, I have to be resigned to use my CC and no need to bring wad of green backs then? Any comments ?

The only thing they cannot do is buy an airline ticket, travel package or ferry to leave Argentina in cash. The dollar blue is alive and well for everything else.

Tomatalki, there is no difference between different kind of residency and taxes. Residency means to live here. A person has to pay taxes if he lives here over 6 months per year (año fiscal) no matter if he is citizen or a foreigner.

The only difference between foreigners and citizens are political rights.

The first sentence of the law says that all persons has to pay it. The second clarified that they has to be residents.

The law mention that social security pays income tax but it is all about if this is a local or abroad (income) How does it work? i have no idea, i gave to the law like 1 minute while i was drinking a caipirinha at Ipanema and it wasn t enough to understand it.

The law was written for accountants, there is a key paragraph i don t get it.

I suggest you read carefully the law to understand how does it work.

Can I assume that what you are saying is that no matter what kind of resident you are (as long as you have a DNI) you pay taxes on world wide income and assets.

I edited my post while you reply (fu...g i-phone) clarifying it.
Please read it again.

Tom and Nancy, international law prohibits double jeopardy--meaning if you are paying taxes to a particular country on an asset you can not be made to pay taxes to another country for the same asset. If you are already paying taxes on something you own, let's say in the US, argentina can not charge you taxes on the same thing. That is called double taxation or double jeopardy and is against international tax conventions.

Yes, we all know that, BUT, if the lawyers of afip disagree, you have to pay first (the fine and what you didn t pay according to them) and start a long trial to get the money back. That's why proper advicing is so important regarding tax.

The paragraph i don t understand is the one about the exception of double taxation precisely.

So, i go back to my original reply, consult with an specialist on tax (lawyer).
