The Collection Agency of the province of Buenos Aires (ARBA) published today, through resolution 1/2025 in the Official Gazette of the district, the due date schedule for the Gross Income taxboth local and multilateral agreement, along with the deadlines for Collection and Information Agents.
However, The calendar does not include the due dates of property taxessuch as Urban and Rural Real Estate, Complementary Real Estate, Automotive and Sports Boats. On its website, ARBA clarified that there will be no expirations for these taxes during January and February. This is because the Legislature did not approve the Tax Law sent by the Executive Branch in December, which forced the governor Axel Kicillof to extend both that rule and the provincial Budget.
Traditionally, the first installment of the Real Estate tax is due in February and the Patent in March. However, in 2025, ballots will not be issued at least until the third month of the year. However, the Government indicated that The first Real Estate installment will contemplate the same values as in 2024 and it was pointed out that this year the discounts for good taxpayers will return: Those who do not register debt and opt for the annual advance payment of property taxes will obtain a discount of up to 15%.
The Gross Income Tax expiration calendar details the dates on which local taxpayers and those of the multilateral agreement must submit the sworn declaration.
Meanwhile, the expiration calendar for Information Agents details the dates for the presentation of sworn statements for: banking entities; colleges, councils and other professional bodies; guard and mooring entities; additional ports; insurance and service companies; cooperatives; electronic transactions; and agricultural fiscal control.
The complete calendar of expirations can be consulted on the official website of the organization that leads Cristian Girard: ttps://www.arba.gov.ar/Intranet/Legislacion/Normas/Resoluciones/2025/Res001-25.pdf
The reason for the measure
On the last Friday of December, the Kicillof administration failed to obtain the necessary votes for the Legislature of the province of Buenos Aires to approve the 2025 Budget (which included expenses of 34 billion pesos); the tax law (which did not provide for an adjustment or increase in the tax burden) and the authorization to take on debt for U$D 1.3 billion to refinance the debt taken by former president María Eugenia Vidal.
The block of Union for the Homelandwith the support of allied groups, achieved half plus one of the legislators (47 out of the total of 92) to advance with the calculation of expenses and the Tax Law, which determined the new amounts of taxes that the Executive could collect in 2025 However, the necessary two-thirds were not met to sanction the authorization to take on debt for US$ 1,045 million and the issuance of Treasury Bills for another US$ 250 million.
The opposition blocs, which included the UCRhe PRO and the Freedom Advancesthey grouped together and began to pose conditions for their support. Firstly, they sought to put on the negotiating table different positions that are currently vacant in organizations such as the Buenos Aires Court, the board of directors of Banco Provincia, in the General Council of Education and the Attorney General’s Office.
In addition, the opposition asked to tie the debt request to the inclusion of a fund for municipalities. The radical, macrista and libertarian groups proposed that 16% of the debt that the Executive would take on be allocated to the districts. The Executive made a counteroffer of 10%. It was insufficient. The sessions in both the Deputies and the Senate fell and Kicillof did not obtain his legislative package.
Thus, the Buenos Aires president made official the extension of the so-called “laws law” on January 3, as well as the Tax Law. This enables the economist to readjust budget items, pay salaries and debt maturities, as well as issue tax receipts.
Although it was agreed to resume negotiations this week between the official and opposition blocs with Buenos Aires officials to try to ensure that the projects could be approved in February, the agreement remains stuck. The meeting took place between the president of the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies, the massista Alexis Guerrera and the opposition benches, but did not have the presence of the Minister of Infrastructure, Gabriel Katopodis; his economics counterpart, Pablo Lopeznor the Secretary General of the Government, Agustina Vilaas planned.
In the Government they based the suspension of the meeting on the fact that the opposition “insists with the requests” that ruined the session of the 27th and “lacks new proposals”, so “under these conditions, there is nothing to negotiate “.
In this framework, the possibility of advancing on the debt item seems stalled. Time is running: On March 1, one of the two debt commitments in foreign currency expires that the province must face this year. The second, dated September 1, brings the total to 1.1 billion dollars. Although some sectors maintain that the province has a certain financial margin due to debt authorizations not executed in previous years, the provincial government insists that without the requested authorization it will be difficult to honor the commitments made during the debt renegotiation of the Vidal administration.
