The same sources indicated that “the process of obtaining residency there is not very complex from the bureaucratic point of view, many facilities are provided.” In addition, they pointed out that the neighboring country “carried out a seduction campaign to attract taxpayers with a tax benefit or tax holiday aimed at those who change their tax residence.”
In the Government they consider that this situation gave rise to “risky tax planning” by these taxpayers since in more than one case the loss of resident status is nothing more than a simulated situation to access this tax benefit while still actually reside in Argentina. They even detected cases of human beings who went to live in a third country, the United States, but who asked to pay taxes in Uruguay.
The simulation maneuvers that AFIP investigates include subjects who pretend to dispossess their assets by giving them to their children, or direct relatives, but maintaining availability and control over them. Also the alleged assembly of a staging of recomposition of his social life in Uruguay, associating himself with clubs, mutuals and contracting a prepaid medicine that was rarely used.
“Many times, taxpayers kept strict control of the number of days spent in the country, to give the image of having a greater presence in Uruguay than in Argentina; but the truth is that the AFIP detected that these subjects did not actually stay in Uruguay, but from there, after a short stay of even a few hours, they left for a third country where they really stayed, ”official sources told Ámbito.
As this medium was able to find out, the steps to follow in these cases include sending an alert notification for the payment of taxes owed, in general they are profits, personal assets and solidarity contribution plus interest, penalties and compensation. Then, if non-compliance persists, there may be a legal escalation with a criminal complaint and embargoes.
