I believe this is what non resident do whenever they want to buy a house. And from what i've heard, they're tightening up the laws about that one.

Invoicing: if you don't want to incorporate as an SA or an SRL and you don't want to be Responsable Inscripto (for which you would need to collect VAT), you need to be a monotributista. You can just create monotributo invoices in Spanish and then create another "unofficial" invoice in English for the US company. They are not necessarily related, as foreign companies don't want or require a monotributo invoice.

Noooooooooooooooooooo! It is a federal crime.
Do the invoices in Spanish and/or English. worst scenario is a fine.

Once you're in the Argentine tax labyrinth, you can never leave, as The Eagles once pointed out to us, so helpfully.

Right! Monotributo is a labyrinth!!!
