Although it has not yet been officially launched, the Government has already released some details on what the new 10% discount on meat purchases made with a debit card will look like, intended to contain the value of the farm that is already reflected in the meters.
How will the discount work?
Customers will receive a 10% discount on debit card purchases in butcher shops.
What will change for the trader?
The operation must be done through a posnet which will be distributed by the government. This is a moot point due to the informality in this sector, which accounts for 90% of sales.
How much will the discount be?
The consumer will have this refund in his account up to a maximum of $1,000 per transaction. This means that if you spend 15,000 pesos on a purchase, it will only set you back $1,000 and not $1,500, which is 10%. But if you spend $20,000 on two different purchases of $10,000 each, you’ll get a $2,000 discount.
What advantage will the butcher have?
The advantages for the butcher will come from the fiscal side. They will have a 90% discount on the self-employment fee, that is, butcher shops will pay only 10% of their tax burden (a benefit that would not exceed $4,000, according to industry calculations). This includes both to mono-tax payers and to those registered in the general scheme.
On the other hand, merchants will be able to discount 5% of the invoice for purchases they make from the refrigerator Personal Income and Property Tax and use that credit during the 12 month tax period.
How long will the discount plan last?
The government estimates it will last 12 months.
Why has meat increased?
This resulted in the reduction of the available stock due to drought and the retention of animals a 40% increase in the price of the property in the market of Cañuelas.
Therefore, another part of the official plan will be a non-repayable contribution to cover half of the costs of fattening livestock against a slaughter of 75% put to fatten in feed.
They will be paid up to a limit of 70 items per producer. “The problem is that the farmers no longer have grass in the field, so they bring it to the farm to fatten it and pay the rent. The state will invest a lot and pay them half of the food, ” they pointed out in Agriculture.
