A tax measure eases the registration process in countries and well departments

The Collection Agency of the Province of Buenos Aires (ARBA) has implemented a tax measure a to unlock the situation of thousands of lots in Villages Y country houses It’s inside good departments whose act remained glued due to problems with supplementary tax.

The series of resolutions streamlines procedures relating to tax liability on real estate elements and simplify the parcel subdivision. These efforts are part of the last section before the signing of the act, but in reality they constituted a Gordian knot that – between one test and another – wrecked the operations.

Problems have hindered real estate developments in countries, gated communities, country clubs and even buildings, for people who have bought under trust and they were trapped just before the act.

The figure at the center of the controversy was the supplementary taxwhich must be paid by those who own more than one property in the Province of Buenos Aires.

The inconvenience arose because ARBA charged this fee to the developer from the beginning of the real estate business as if it were the sole owner of the total extension of the land, when in reality these lands are divided and end up in the hands of several owners.

The situation exploded shortly before the signing of the deed, when the notary he was informed of the debt for the lot in questionto the surprise of the buyers who – in many cases – only owned that property and therefore were not responsible for the amount.

Despite the protests, the debt was still standing and caused ARBA complaints and lawsuits against the developers, who on paper were still the owners. For its part, the provincial state the collection could not be completed to strengthen their coffers.

New resolutions come to resolve this conflict since allows scribes to elaborate directly update tax liability, without the mediation of the ARBAand also implement the retroactive termination via sales ticket and the possibility to modify the data of several items at the same time.

So they can authenticate even if they have debts of the supplementary tax. To this possibility is added the provision that since last year allows the subdivision of plots that have pre-existing debts of the Basic Real Estate Tax.

The news was discussed in a meeting held by an ARBA delegation, led by its boss, Cristian Girard, with representatives of the Chamber of Urban Development (ECHR) and the Argentine Chamber of Construction (CAMARCO).
