The stock exchange companies are these days swamped with queries of clients who aspire to enter the money laundering scheme. There are still many doubts because the rules of the plan have many points in favour but some against them.
This is what the study’s specialists understood. Bruchou and Funes from Rioja, Pablo Muir and Maximiliano Yudica Bartels, summoned from Cohen Argentinain a talk with investors.
In this regard, there is a problem that clients of brokerage firms are frequently asking about. Since there was a fairly long period between the moment when it was announced that there was going to be a money laundering and the launching of the plan, A large number of people used their cash to buy houses or registered propertyand then bleach them.
As what can be whitened is what the person had in its assets as of December 31, 2023, They are now in the problem that they have a good that entered into your estate after January 1st of this year, and you cannot include it.
This would be the case ofSomeone who managed to save $300,000 over 5 years, and used them to buy a house later this year. That is, As of December 31, he had a certain amount of cash, which he can no longer deposit. to a special account, but at this time it has a registerable asset that it cannot declare either.
Muir explained that according to how it is designed the legal apparatus of money laundering “has no possibility” of solving this problem, depending on how the transaction was carried out, which allowed him to include that asset in his assets from last year.
US accounts
Another of the Cases in favor of taxpayers to take into account are those of accounts abroadespecially from the moment that the AFIP begins to receive data on Argentine accounts in the United States.
They point out that as abroad andIt is common to open multi-ownership accountsyou can take advantage of this to declare more than US$100,000 of the franchise without paying the special tax of 5%.
This is the case of an account that Four relatives with $400,000, in which it can be shown that they are not dependents, each could launder $100,000 without paying anything.
This could be detrimental to the intentions of the AFIP, although strictly speaking, the organization of the money laundering demonstrates day by day that the Government He is more interested than anything in having dollars in cash made available.
Muir warned that whitewashing is “a very cheap opportunity” to regularize the situation with the tax authorities, since it considered that the agreement on the exchange of information with the United States imposes “a certain risk” for those who decide to keep assets hidden.
