The monetary authority keeps the price of the currency “treading” to remove pressure on prices, despite the fact that it was expected that the advance of the dollar would accelerate after the electoral elections. Although the real exchange rate is not low in historical terms, in recent months it suffered a delay since it cost monthly inflation to drop below 3%.
In the run-up to the elections, many operators in the market expected that the rate of advance of the dollar would accelerate after the legislative elections in November. This projection was fueled by the fact that reserves are not abundant.
In November, the month passed through by legislative elections, the number of people who bought savings dollars climbed 21.5%, while the amount of acquisitions jumped almost 25%. In this way, both variables reached their highest level in one year.
According to the report “Evolution of the Exchange Market and Exchange Balance” published this Thursday by the Central Bank (BCRA), during the second to last month of 2021 there were 926,000 individuals who bought US currency for hoarding, for a net total of US $ 171 million, record figures since November 2020.
In addition, the AFIP incorporated non-profit entities and cooperatives among the subjects not covered by the system of perception on account of taxes on Income and on Personal Assets, for operations carried out in foreign currency.
Thus, AFIP decided to limit the perceptions of the 35% Tax on Profits to the consumption in dollars with cards, tourism and tickets abroad.
Who will not suffer perceptions for the realization of consumption in dollars with debit and credit cards that pay in pesos, for the purchase of tourism services abroad, tickets to abroad, among others, are:
- Entities exempt from taxes by national laws.
- Cooperative societies.
- Religious institutions.
- Associations, foundations and civil entities of social assistance, public health, charity, charity, education and instruction, scientific, literary, artistic, trade union and those of physical or intellectual culture.
