Accountants and tax advisors are alert, waiting for the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA), grant some type of dispensation For some taxpayers who they decided launder cash in the first stage, but They did not comply with all the planned steps by the rules.
There are cases of people who, due to ignorance or bad advice, They have opened Special Asset Regularization Accounts (CERA) in the banks, they have taken their money, but They have not made a declaration of adhesion to money laundering, nor have they presented the Affidavits corresponding.
Specifically, It is as if they had handed themselves over to the treasury. They have told ARCA that they have “black” money, but they have not told it that they wanted to regularize their situation, which leads the organization can go against them in an inspection.
The lawyer specialized in tax issues, Diego Fraga, commented to Scope that “There are cases where some opened CERA accounts, deposited, but forgot the demonstration and obviously did not present the sworn statement either”. “To enter laundering, you not only had to deposit the money, you had to comply with the other steps,” he explained. Technically, they didn’t perfect the operation.
As the lawyer explained, The money laundering law only mentions that in the first stage the cash has to be deposited in special accounts, but it does not say anything regarding the demonstration and the DDJJ. So, it turned out that in ARCA would be analyzing a kind of reopening of the first phase so that these people can complete the procedures.
In that sense, the accountant Alejandro Rosenfeld He pointed out on social network X that “reading the law, the decree and the resolutions of (the former) AFIP does not appear anywhere that cash can be laundered only in stage 1.”
“It only establishes that it has to be deposited before expiration to join stage 1, Therefore, those who did not join at this stage could perfectly enter stage II,” says the professional.
He assures that “since This is supposed to be a taxpayer friendly government. It would be good for ARCA to allow the presentation of the sworn declaration of stage 1, without accession, since there is no damage (there was no payment on account) and the willingness to join with the deposit is expressed, it is more than obvious.”
“They can also clarify that it can be done in stage 2 and it is more or less the same, the reality is that it would not be necessary because the law says so, but it would be better for the peace of mind of people in that situation,” says Rosenfeld.
In the first stage, 138,432 taxpayers bleached US$23,351 million. Of that total, US$20,631 million were in cash cash (about US$149,000 per taxpayer on average) that were divided into 330,793 special asset regulation accounts (WAXES) and constituted as Liquidation and Clearing Agents (ALyCs), US$2,690 million were invested in other assets and some US$30 million in cryptocurrencies.
According to ARCA data also 14,810 properties were laundered (14,260 in Argentina and 550 abroad) and 6,491 accounts abroad.
