Tras cinco años, el impuesto PAIS en Argentina llega a su fin. Este cambio significa que ya no se cobrará el 30% adicional sobre el valor del dólar oficial para compras y servicios contratados en el exterior. Sin embargo, la retención del 30% en concepto de ganancias sigue vigente, manteniendo al dólar turista como uno de los más caros del mercado. Además, se destaca la creciente popularidad de las billeteras digitales en Brasil entre los argentinos que viajan al país vecino para evitar impuestos.

00:00After five years, bye, country tax. What does this change mean for the citizen on foot?
00:09From this Monday, the country tax ends, disappears, and this 30% is no longer charged over the official dollar for purchases abroad,
00:22for the purchase of products and the payment of services, travel, tourism, everything that has to do with, attention, applications.
00:31All the applications that in general we Argentines have, that we hire abroad, Spotify, different applications that are generally in dollars,
00:41will stop paying 30% of the country tax on the official value of the dollar.
00:47Now, Hugo, I interrupt you to consult you. What happens, I understand that this country tax ceases to exist after approximately five years, if I'm not mistaken, from Monday.
00:57What happens with the tourist dollar or the card dollar, which is, I understand, also the most expensive in the market, the product of this tax cut?
01:04Sure. The card dollar or the tourist dollar, known as the tourist dollar, also lowers 30% the value for the payment with a credit card of consumption abroad and also consumption in the country, which are dollarized.
01:20It will go down to 1,300.
01:21The country tax ceases to exist. I have some delay with the sound. The country tax ceases to exist, both for purchases abroad and for purchases with a credit card in Argentina,
01:34that are carried out abroad for services, for example, applications. It goes down by 30% and, therefore, it goes from Monday to have a quote of 1,355 pesos,
01:46which is made up of the quotation of the official dollar, minority banknoting, plus 30% still that continues to give retention in the concept of earnings.
01:59Earnings, attention, does not stop applying, with which the tourist dollar will continue to be one of the most expensive dollars in the market from Monday at 1,355 pesos, but well, it goes down from the 1,670 pesos that it is today.
02:15Hugo, I'll give you the last one, briefly. A person who travels in the next few hours to any part of the world, what is convenient for him, to use his card, to carry cash, what is more convenient from this change?
02:27From this change, the informal dollar, the dollar blue, is still cheaper, it is at 2,100 pesos, and the dollar MEP also, the financial dollar, which the Argentines have already gotten used to.
02:42In recent months, I would tell you, during the last year, the Argentines, those who pay credit cards in dollars, many have gotten used to first buying the dollar MEP in their account,
02:53in their bank account, and in the bank with which they transact, they buy the dollar MEP and pay the balance of the card from that dollar that they had already bought, with which they generate a savings,
03:07they pay it between 1,100 and 1,150 pesos, the value of the dollar, when the card is now at 2,600, now 1,300.
03:14It is still convenient, from Monday onwards, to buy the dollar MEP in the bank and pay the sum of the credit card with the dollar MEP in the account.
03:24Now, Vasquez, how about Cristian Balbo? A question regarding Brazil, because what we are observing is that what is being used the most now are digital wallets.
03:32In the case of Brazil, for example, the PIX is used, practically the real or cash is no longer handled, and many Argentines who are traveling to Brazil,
03:39what they do is precisely open this digital wallet, charge money in their savings accounts and pay precisely without taxes.
03:46How does this dynamic, this logic of payment with digital wallets in Brazil, which became so fashionable today, come about?
03:53In Brazil it is very common, you say it very well, correct, it is like that.
03:57Virtual wallets in Brazil are in the order of the day, the payment is massified with this type of tool,
04:03and definitely what is convenient is to buy dollar MEP, to do it, obviously it is absolutely legal, illicit,
04:10you can, from your bank entity, buy dollar MEP, this dollar that you have in your bank account, deposit it in the dollar savings account,
04:18you have to open a dollar savings account and you link that dollar savings account when you arrive at the destination,
04:24when you arrive in Brazil, you link it to the virtual wallet, in this case in the neighboring country,
04:30with this dollar savings account from your bank account, you have to notify the bank entity,
04:37you have to admit that that dollar account is linked to the virtual wallet,
04:44and definitely there you will have or generate savings from the use of this type of exchange.
04:51The dollar card, although it goes down by 30% from this Monday, it must be said, it is still one of the most expensive dollars in the market.
04:58Exactly.
05:00Thank you Hugo, a big hug, from Monday, without tax to the country, and the explanation here by Hugo Vázquez.
