The Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, made a series of announcements yesterday aimed at monotributistas: the main news that he communicated was the confirmation of the 41.5% adjustment that will be applied to the billing scale that governs the operation of this tax regime to as of July 1, while the value of the monthly fee will remain unchanged. This is done with a view to the semi-annual recategorization, which will be shortly. And, on the other hand, soft loans were launched for the sector.
“Everything that aims to improve people’s income is on the agenda,” they point out from the Ministry. And, in this way, starting next month, those who invoice up to $1,414,762 per year will enter category A (currently the maximum is $999,657), category B will enter up to $2,103025 (until now it was $1,485,976). , for C, the new ceiling is $2,944,235, the ceiling of category D goes from $2,583,720 annually to $3,656,604, in E, it runs up to $4,305,799, in F bills enter for up to $5,382,248 and in G, up to $6,458,698, while in H and I the new ceilings will be $7,996,484 and $8,949,911, respectively, and for J, $10,257,028. Finally, for Category K, a maximum limit of $11,379,612 per year is set (from $8,040,721). This adjustment responds to the need to raise the maximums within the framework of the inflationary escalation, since they have not been touched since the beginning of the year and this caused the billing ceilings forecast until now to be very low for the members of the different categories.
Consequently, many monotributistas entered a higher category than the one that really corresponded to them and had to pay a higher quota or some, even, were excluded from the Monotributo when exceeding the ceilings.
Context
This is a key moment to take this step since, in a few weeks, the moment arrives in which monotributistas have to recategorize themselves, as happens every year, according to their billing amounts. That is why Economy decided to move forward in this sense yesterday, with the announcements made by Massa in the framework of the inauguration of Expo Escobar.
Likewise, the value of the quotas will remain unchanged to help monotributistas and prevent them from running the risk of entering into debt with the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP). It is an indirect way of improving the income of monotributistas, which today number 4.8 million throughout the country.
Credits for the sector
In addition, Massa launched a two-year credit plan with differentiated rates of 43% for monotributistas, which will be financed by the Argentine Guarantee Fund (FOGAR) and aims to finance micro-enterprises. The measure seeks to benefit about 1.2 million people.
This financing offer was devised with the Secretariat of Production, headed by José Ignacio de Mendiguren, and is in line with two very important objectives that Massa has in mind at the moment: to keep consumption strong and to prop up investment in production to trying to sustain economic activity.
“Today we are going to add one more chapter to the Argentine Credit Program,” said Massa. And he thus announced the launch of this new line of credit subsidized by the national State without a bank requirement for working capital.
