Argentina’s tax authority amended the income-tax withholding regime to address income earned by individuals from foreign-currency deposits held with financial institutions. The amendment to General Resolution 830 takes effect on the date of publication.
According to the sources, the amendment specifically addresses the tax treatment of income earned by individuals from foreign-currency deposits at Argentine financial institutions. For people relocating, this matters when opening or using a local account that generates interest in foreign currency, because the withholding procedure is now governed by the updated rules. The direct impact is on account holders and newcomers planning to keep foreign currency through Argentina’s banking system, rather than on all visitors. It is worth checking for anyone expecting deposit interest after establishing local banking arrangements.
