But it is taken into account that among the changes that have been introduced into the criminal tax law, in relation to the Umbral to declare “aggravated evasion” that would go to levels close to US $ 100,000, Most of the Argentines could get their dollars tickets without even going through the radar of the control agencies.
In Average, each Argentine has about US $ 2,100 in cash, which indicates that They are not quirky amounts. The data arises from a report of the New Economy Studies Center (CEN) directed by economist Víctor Beker. “It is estimated that There are about US $ 100,000 million in physical tickets Within the country, which would be the famous mattress dollars that the Government aspires to put into circulation, ”says the study. It must be taken into account that according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) in Argentina there are just over 47 million inhabitants.
As it is averages, It is evident that there may be some with figures that exceed the threshold of US $ 100,000, But there is likely to be very well below the average, which could be the ones to spend that money. It should be remembered that still the aggravated evasion threshold by which a person could be prey is the equivalent of just over US $1, .500which implies that today everyone could be in the sights of the treasury.
The CEN states that “INDEC periodically estimates the assets owned by Argentines abroad” and emphasizes that “The last data, at the end of 2024, indicated a total of US $ 455,000 million.”
“But in that sum The assets of the Central Bank and the National Government that totaled about US $ 42,000 million are included And that, obviously, they are not in the ‘mattress’. This brings us closer to the upper limit of the president’s calculation: they are US $ 413,000 million, ”explains the report.
The same clarifies that “However, in this total there are very low liquidity assets such as direct investments and investments of portfolio, that is to say dollars that the Argentines have used to invest in companies and in real estate or in debt or actions abroad. ”The CENIN states that these assets”They added at the end of 2024 about US $ 155,000 millions “that because It is not easy for its owners to sell and repatriate. “Nor do they qualify to be considered part of what is accumulated in the ‘mattress’ ”.
Drawing the assets that cannot be sold to repatriate
“There are thus US $258,000 million. However, this includes deposits in financial entities abroad that INDEC estimates at $ 13,000 million and that they are hardly candidates for repatriation,” adds the study ..
In this way, Cene indicates that “This is a maximum amount of US $ 245,000 millions that Argentines would have in their homes, in safes, in security boxes or in offshore accounts. ”And From there the report indicates that “it is estimated that there are US $ 100,000 million in physical tickets.”
“If the government was successful in making the dollars of the mattress enter the formal circuit of the economy, He would have attacked one of the central problems of the Argentine economy, ”says the report.
In this regard, Guillermo Pérez, CEO of the GNP Group said in this regard that “what is trying to implement the ruling is good but is missing legal support.” Pérez explained that the package, as presented consists “that Arca will not check for 3 years the assets of which the simplified regime of the Income Tax revenues ”.
However, he indicated that “if a person receives an inspection YTIt has a luxury car standing at the door of his house, Arca’s agent will investigate because otherwise it is possible to be summarized. ”
