General * Capital controls were introduced by decree on 1 September 2019 in response to the escalating financial and sovereign debt crisis. Since 23 December 2019 (the date on which Law 27541 entered into force), Argentina has been levying a tax (Impuesto Para una Argentina Inclusiva y Solidaria = PA�S) of 30% on transactions such as the following: - purchases of foreign currency banknotes and foreign exchange, including travellers' cheques, by Argentine residents; - 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. The Argentine Tax Authority (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos = AFIP) has been levying additional taxes on the aforementioned transactions since 16 September 2020, which have been raised in several stages - the last time in November 2023 - to a total of no more than 125%. With effect from 13 December 2023, the Argentine peso was devalued and the additional taxes of the AFIP were combined to a uniform tax rate 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; this rate stood at 1,000 Argentine pesos to the US dollar at the beginning of April 2024.
