Use this page to work out what to check before you invoice, register an activity, form a company, open a bank account, or become exposed to Argentine tax residence rules.
This page is a triage tool, not tax advice. Use a contador when you have foreign income, employees, multiple provinces, corporate ownership, or hard deadlines.
Confirm whether you need CDI, CUIT, and Clave Fiscal before you can use ARCA services.
Decide whether the activity is individual, company, employee, local-source, foreign-source, or mixed.
Use ARCA to confirm tax condition, activity codes, invoice type, and service access.
Check provincial taxes, municipal registrations, and Convenio Multilateral if activity spans provinces.
| Situation | Usually start with | Main watch-out |
|---|---|---|
| Small individual activity | Monotributo eligibility, category, and monthly amount using ARCA's live table | ARCA says values can update; the current table applies from 2026-02-01 |
| Company or larger operation | IVA, income tax, social security if hiring, and electronic invoicing setup | Invoice type and filings depend on tax condition and activity |
| Remote worker living in Argentina | Tax residence, source of income, invoice obligations, and bank file review | Immigration category does not decide tax treatment by itself |
| Multiple provinces | Ingresos Brutos and Convenio Multilateral analysis | National registration alone may be incomplete |
ARCA's category page checked on 2026-06-20 still states values valid from 2026-02-01. The top category K annual gross-income cap shown there is $108,357,084.05, but this number is exactly the kind of item that can change.
Use the linked ARCA table before quoting, filing, or pricing services.
