The development of electronic means of payment and their widespread use led the AFIP to include digital accounts in February in the list of assets that could be seized by the courts to collect debts that, until then, had only been specified on bank accounts. , personal property, real estate and credits, among others, from delinquent taxpayers.

Thus, The organization advanced in the regularization of debts for more than $11,000 million.
CIAT is an international organization specialized in tax matters that this year holds its general assembly from Argentina virtually.
As part of the event, Marcó del Pont assumed this Monday the presidency of the Board of Directors of the organization with the aim of promoting the global debate on “the exchange of information as a tool to combat international tax evasion and avoidance.”
“We deepened the recovery of the capacities of the State in matters of control to control avoidance and evasion with the focus on increasing the contribution to the collection of the sectors with the greatest taxpaying capacity”added Marco del Pont.
And he concluded: “The collection is the genuine source of financing to implement public policies that allow progress with the necessary transformations to achieve more inclusion and equity.”
