General * Capital controls were introduced by decree on 1 September 2019 in response to the escalating financial and sovereign debt crisis. With effect from 23 December 2019, a tax (Impuesto Para una Argentina Inclusiva y Solidaria = PAÍS) of 30% was introduced with the entry into force of Law 27541. The Argentine Tax Authority (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos = AFIP) levied additional taxes from 16 September 2020, which were raised in several stages - the last time in November 2023 - to a total of no more than 125%. On 13 December 2023, the Argentine peso was devalued and the additional taxes of the AFIP were combined to a uniform tax rate of 30%. With effect from 23 December 2024, the differentiated taxes levied (PAÍS as well as the additional AFIP taxes) were replaced by a new uniform tax of 30%. In addition, since 4 November 2022, there has been a separate settlement exchange rate for non-residents making payments on selected foreign credit, debit and prepaid cards for tourism purposes. With effect from 14 April 2025, the Central Bank of Argentina decided to introduce a more flexible exchange rate regime within bands. In addition, some of the capital controls that had been in place since September 2019 were lifted. The uniform tax of 30%, which was introduced with effect from 23 December 2024, will now be levied only on the following transactions: - the exchange of foreign currency intended for the purchase of goods or services or for the purchase of services abroad; - foreign transactions with Argentine bank cards.
