What are the prices?
In the first place, it is necessary to start with the most basic: mid-range cell phones to access these services have prices from $25,000 to $60,000 and if we take into account notebooks, the values range between $35,000 to $100,000 according to Ámbito’s survey.
On the other hand, you also have to consider the internet connection at home. In TeleCenter the cheapest subscription is from $1,499 to $4,900, in the case of Clear from $1299 per month, and Fibertel offers packs from $2,418 pesos per month for the connection service.
This is followed by the most recognized platforms with audiovisual content on demand. Currently, the value of the plans of Netflix in Argentina it starts with the basic plan at $541 pesos with taxes included. Then follows the standard plan at $913 and the premium at $1342.
When entering the platform, the values are lower but it is explained that they are prices without taxes. For this reason, the difference between what is seen on the platform and the final price is much higher. As in the US, the plan is expected to increase by at least US$1.
then follows HBO Max: Two plans are offered in the country. One for cell phones, which costs around $386 and a standard plan that costs around $570 with taxes. But this application has fine print: in the case of contracting the annual service, the cost can be reduced by up to 30%.
AmazonPrime, another of the most used platforms costs $319 per month and with applicable taxes, its final price is $563. In the case of Star+, its final price is $880 per month. Disney+, it’s about the same price as Netflix and HBO at $385 per month. If you choose to use a complete package of Star + and Disney +, the subscription costs $995 per month.
At the national level there is the platform Flow, which offers a plan called “Flow box” that includes internet, television and streaming at $3,190 per month. The second “Flow Now” plan has a final price per month of $1,559; and a third that includes live television and streaming for $1,850 per month.
Among the musical platforms stand out Spotify whose premium plan costs $199 and adding 21% VAT, 8% PAIS Tax and 35% Profits, its final price amounts to $352. By last, Youtube Premium It costs US$11.99, it is the most expensive of all the platforms and taking into account the official price ($110), its final price is $1,241 per month, not including taxes.
Finally, one thing to consider is that you can request a refund of the surcharge for expenses paid in foreign currency with a card that includes services in dollars, as in the case of Netflix, HBO, Disney and others. These services are covered by the PAIS Tax, which is 8% for digital services – instead of 35%, as it is in the case of dollar savings purchases – and by VAT of 21%.
The digital services of Google Drive, LinkedIn Plus, Dropbox, in this case as they are still paid in foreign currency, are subject to the 35% income tax.
