The creation of the new Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) It will take a little longer to be reflected on the Internet and that means that taxpayers will have to continue entering the site of the Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP) at the current address for a while longer due to a small controversy that arose in the approval process of the new domain.
It happens that the name chosen for the The new body that will continue to be headed by Florencia Misrahi is the same as that of the Catamarca tax collection agency. which is the owner of the domain www.arca.gob.ar.
National authorities had to start negotiations with the provincial body to activate the transfer of the domainsomething that is processed before the AFIP itself. The people of Catamarca did not object and will start using the domain www.arcat.gob.ar.
But, although the procedure may be simple, technical adjustments can take a long time. So, during the process, in order to avoid confusion and problems for taxpayers, To access both Internet sites, people will have to type the old addresses and the system will redirect them.
A case similar to that of the social network
To explain it with a practical case that everyone can know, it is something similar to what happens with social network which can be accessed by typing www.twitter.comalthough the system automatically changes it to www.x.com.
The main technical problem is to update the access security certificates for the new domains. At AFIP, they say that, from the taxpayers’ point of view, they will not notice the difference.
In principle, it must be taken into account that when someone types www.arca.gob.ar the address sends it to the servers of the Catamarca agency. Technically, They have to make it point to the AFIP servers from now on.
In addition to this, it would be necessary to modify directories. For example, if someone enters the AFIP website and requests an appointment for an agency, the system directs them to: https://serviciosweb.afip.gob.ar/Publico/Turnos/Turnos.aspx. Changing that is a complex task. For years the AFIP has been developing and making its website more complex based on the original domain.
Therefore, when a taxpayer or an accountant has to do any of the usual procedures, You will have to continue entering the same way you have been doing until now.
