New Online Purchasing Laws

[Rich One]

On 2009 my girlfriend wanted to buy 20.000 euros. It took 2 weeks through the bank in the US.

Plus, on the CFK there were custom agents checking how much money you had in cash.

Bajo Cero .... you are not being serious .... you quote a separate instance that happened 4 years ago.

If you are not a client of a US bank and want to buy 20,000 Euros and pay cash, you are in trouble. All transactions and transfers over US 10,000 are reported to the IRS by the bank

Can not leave the USA with more than US 10K, per family, in cash without declaration. Customs agents check specially flights coming to Argentina. A man was searched recently in Miami and his money confiscated

In 2009 i was living in NYC and my former girlfriend was a citizen. She had a bank account there.

In those days nobody knew what was going on with the economy.

The two situations i described happend in the same month and the flight was to Europe (i had to do my visa run).

BajoCero, I have to tell you that in this instance and many others enacted by this regime, the law is an ass.

Bajocero there is a saying that says it's hard to tell if something stinks when you're waist deep in bullshit. This is just another quasi-legal way to intimidate people who dare desire non-shitty overpriced goods from abroad. It has nothing to do with tax evasion. You don't actually think Cristina or Moreno or other millionaires (millionaires in dollars of course) actually do their shopping online, go pick it up in Retiro or at EZE, do you? Some flunky is doing this and is going to be the info on the new tax forms too.

Long story short title should read: "Argentine government's desperation reaches record high as new "anti-tax evasion" forms instituted for Amazon purchases".

 

[John.St]

Well, this is another bizarre thread where people complains because they cannot evade taxes or immigration freely. Then this is north korea, right?

Can you please explain me how much is the salary of a politician in the US? Because the houses just besides the sea i saw in annapolis cannot be bought with their salary for sure.

Oooh, i forgot, bribes are legal there. They use an euphemism, lobby

Let us assume you are right, then the logic in your post is: Someone else is a thief, so it is OK for me to steal too. ... We are satisfied that Argentina is no. 106 on the corruption index, because Bolivia, Gabon and Mexico are too.

 

[French jurist]

Paying taxes on a packet you'll never receive anyway.
Only in:
A) Nigeria
B-) Timor
C) Argentina
D) All of the above

Imagine having to ask the IRS for permission to travel overseas.

Imagine asking the IRS for permission to order a replacement part for your <insert name of your favorite broken-down machine that you need to perform your job here>!

This is not a law, it is the enforcement of the custom's code. Under 25 usd you don t pay any tax. According with La Nación this exist since decades ago.

Here is a good article at La Nacion:

If you read the decree, there is no permition required.
You has to do an affidavit and pay the tax before picking up the package. That s it.
