January 4, 2023 Argentina implements new mandatory disclosure regime for international transactions
Executive summary On 27 December 2022, the Argentine Tax Authority (AFIP) published General Resolution No. 5306/2022 (the Resolution) in the Official Gazette. The Resolution establishes a new informative regime for certain international transactions (RICOI or “Régimen de Información Complementario de Operaciones Internacionales”, in Spanish) to be complied with by Argentine legal entities and replaces the suspended mandatory reporting regime for domestic and international arrangements enacted by General Resolution No. 4838/2020. Detailed discussion Background On 20 October 2020, AFIP issued General Resolution No. 4838/2020 establishing a mandatory reporting regime for domestic and international arrangements (planificaciones fiscales, in Spanish) implemented since 1 January 2019 or implemented before that date if the effects of the arrangements subsist as of 20 October 2020. Under Resolution 4838, taxpayers that participated in any domestic or international tax planning arrangements or tax advisors that participated (directly or through related parties) in implementing tax planning arrangements had to comply with this mandatory reporting regime. On 1 September 2022, AFIP suspended the mandatory reporting regime implemented by Resolution 4838 for 60 calendar days beginning 1 September 2022. This suspension was later extended for an additional 60 calendar days beginning on 31 October 2022 until the regime was finally abrogated by Resolution 5306.1 Reporting parties The RICOI must be complied with by companies, non-profit entities, trusts, mutual funds, and permanent establishments incorporated or located in Argentina, for the following transactions:
