Dominguez warned that companies “They must raise a disagreement with the AFIP so that it analyzes documentation and clearly proves that they had capacity until the previous month.” The professional said that “payments for software licenses and services that are essential for many SMEs that need them are being delayed.” In this regard, he warned that “There are foreign providers that are allowing delays without cutting off the service and others have stated that they will not continue to provide it if they do not receive payments” for which reason it considered that the situation “may affect operationally especially SMEs, for which reason it should be regularized as soon as possible”.
The resource of reducing the CEF was used by the AFIP in February of this year. Hundreds of companies denounced that almost overnight they could not import. Then the system was normalized and the importers recovered their values, but by the time this had been resolved, they had actually stopped for a couple of weeks import operations. This suggests that CEF can also be used as a valve to regulate the outflow of dollars.
The problems to pay for software licenses have been going on for almost a month. A week ago, several companies denounced that they could not renew licenses because a Microsoft supplier firm had lost access to the dollar market. The company suggested paying with dollars in their savings accounts or checking accounts.
When the government changed the mechanism to manage importsIn October, the Argentine Republic Import System (SIRA) was created for importers of inputs, and the Argentine Republic Import System and Foreign Services Payments System (SIRASE). The system added the need for an approval of the declaration from the Secretary of Commerce. “There are cases where the taxpayer had financial economic capacity in November 2022, rmade the SIRASE Declaration, passed the AFIP controls but never received the approval of the Ministry of CommerceDominguez explained. When the month ends, the procedure expires and has to be started again.
According to a report by the consulting firm LCG based on the Exchange Balance of the Central Bank, in October the balance of the services sector registered a deficit of US$799 million, which marked a drop of almost 25% compared to the average between June and September. Most of it comes from tourism and freight. Instead, payments for business and technical services totaled US$103 million; those of intellectual property rights, US$6 million; communications, US$24 million and information and computing, US$47 million.
Other companies linked to the knowledge economy have also been complaining about problems importing equipment, that is, hardware.
