Whitewashing in construction II: what real impact can it have?

To this end, he designed a work plan that included raising funds through the “repatriation of funds without asking many questions” and prior payment of a special tax, granting benefits in the personal property tax for investors who make investments until December 31, 2022. The results were not as expected. What is striking about this new bill, which has just been approved in the Senate, is that it only focuses on fundraising and special tax. But it does not refer to what happens with the investments made since the publication of the rule, it does not talk about the extension of the term to make them, nor if the investors will enjoy the same benefits as those who made investments with the original law.

From this point of view, we believe that the results will not be the ones expected by the Government, because it will not be easy to get the investors allocate funds to these projects, at least until they are regulated by the Executive Branch, the AFIP and the BCRA and clearer regulations are established in this regard.

In recent times, in Argentina it was a resource widely used by the rulers who took power. And even applied more than once during the same term. In a country where not paying taxes does not have significant immediate consequences and where this tool is often used to collect, it could clearly lend itself to speculation by taxpayers.

The most serious problem of money laundering (and for this reason it is highly questioned at present) is that capital can be leaked that comes from illicit activities, combated in all countries by governments so that the development of this type of activity is not encouraged.
