Chau AFIP: how the dissolution of the organization will affect taxpayers

The AFIP was born on October 19, 1996 under the presidency of Carlos Saúl Menem. This organism dependent on the Economy is commonly called, “the state wallet” because it is responsible for collecting all the country’s taxes: VAT, Profits, Withholdings, Contributions and contributions to social security, customs taxes, among others. In its beginnings and until today it had 3 general directorates.

• The General Tax Directorate. DGI
• The General Customs Directorate. DGA
• The general directorate of social security resources. DGRSS

Since the creation of this new agency, which replaces the AFIP, The changes are purely structural and fiscal.

ARCA is going to have the same owner, Florence Misrahi, but it will only have two general addresses. The DGI and the DGA that absorb all taxes related to Social Security.

With less hierarchical structure, savings of more than 31% are expected for said organization, which is why the president Javier Milei meet your goal “zero fiscal deficit”

Beyond the structural changes and a mere name change, there are two delicate points that will be up for debate. The first is that, of the agency’s 21,000 employees, more than 3,100 will be laid off or made available. This means families without jobs and increased unemployment.

The second point is the issue of the maelstrom of the standing citizen. As it is a mere name change and nothing more, taxpayers, we are talking about the 4 million monotributistas and the 600 thousand self-employed workers, we will continue in the same way, paying the simple regime fee on the 20th of each month and settling the VAT DDJJ month by month, which, by the way, we are on the expiration date of said tax and This measure generated operational disruptions to which, month after month, we settled VAT from different taxpayers of the general regime.

While waiting for the operational regulations regarding billing, DDJJ settlements, presentations, withholdings, tax code, payments and consultations of our tax conditions, and that of our clients, although the State coffers saw these measures with joy, Those of us who are in the daily dynamics, generated and generates for us a disorder in the operational form of the AFIP that, from now on, we are going to call the ARCA.
