The tremendous devaluation that has hit Argentina in recent years has encouraged many citizens to cover themselves by buying dollars, some as savings, others to prevent the little surplus they have left from being devalued.
One of the many adjustment measures by the Argentine Government is the famous dollar stocks, which included an additional tax of 35% on the purchase of foreign currency, deductible on account of Profits and/or Personal Assets for those taxpayers who already pay the tax such as the Registered Responsible Persons.
The problem is that the Argentine government did not discriminate against those who pay the income tax, it was easier to collect it from everyone directly, so they invented a kind of refund of these withholdings through the AFIP portal.
Clarification
It is worth clarifying that the money can only be recovered from the perceptions of previous years, not the current year. That is to say that if we are currently in the year 2024, we will be able to recover the withholdings from the year 2023 backwards, another genius, they work with your money for a year, and when they return it to you, it is devalued by more than 100%, anyway, I recommend controlling because you may be surprised at the money you can recover.
