With the money laundering underway, taxpayers’ queries to their tax advisors began to appearAnalysts agree that There are two kinds of people who might be more interested the plan provided by the Government: Those who have undeclared accounts in the United States and freelancers who work abroad and leave dollars outside the country in accounts that have not been officially established until now.
In these cases, if it is a matter of declaring money for amounts of up to US$100,000 at zero cost, This is encouraging given the risk that by next September the AFIP will already have information on Argentines with accounts in the US.
In just over a month The US IRS will begin to send bank account numbers to the AFIP of Argentines in that country. Those who registered accounts in Europe are supposed to have taken advantage of the money laundering scheme during Mauricio Macri’s government. At that time, only the information exchange agreement within the framework of the OECD was in force.
Gabriel Hermida, partner at Auren, He points out that “the Government says it will gather US$30 billionbut I think it will be less.” The externalization program “it is cheap”says the tax advisor, while the declaration of funds for less than US$100,000 is free.
The specialist considers that “This may be useful for those who have an undeclared account in the United States” on the one hand, and on the other, “to freelancers who work abroad and leave their dollars in an undeclared account.” He said that It is convenient to whiten even with the payment of the 5% tax (when more than US$100,000 is entered), “but if you have to pay 10%, you have to analyze it carefully.”
According to the tax advisor, for now There is a lot of movement of people asking on the operation. Likewise, Javier Fuentes, partner at PGK, estimated thatand “at first the whitening will have relative success, which could then be consolidated as Javier Milei’s government can generate more confidence.”
While, Guillermo Pérez, CEO of the GNP Group, considered that there will be “many “laundering of less than US$100,000.” “There is a lot of interest and This week seems to have awakened”, explained to Ambito.
Money laundering: the deadline is approaching
The tax advisor indicated that in the case of money laundering There may be complications in the property tax, as long as the AFIP delays the regulation of the Special Regime of Income on Personal Property (REIBP), which allows the tax to be paid 5 years in advance.
The date to enter to the REIBP is on August 26, 27 and 28, which Perez points out“leaves little room for entry into money laundering.” What happens is that the person You will be able to pay Personal Property Tax in advance based on the assets you had “in white” and then, if included in the asset externalization plan, you will be able to add the declared assets. According to the specialist, an AFIP resolution is still needed to clarify how the 75% tax will be calculated in advance.
Beyond that, they say that There is a lot of movement in accounting firms to ask about the process, although people still need to make up their minds.
