Overview
- The annual rate rises from ARS 3,129.85 to ARS 6,295.97 per hectare, to be paid in six bimonthly installments.
- Backed by UCR and Fuerza Patria and opposed by La Libertad Avanza, the ordinance also grants roughly an 80% raise for senior municipal salaries.
- Officials say the update reflects about a 40% rise in the wheat, beef and diesel inputs used to compute the tax, using 1.226 L diesel, 0.680 kg steer and 8.43 kg wheat as parameters.
- A six-month “trigger” provision calls the council back to revert the rate if tangible road improvements are not demonstrated.
- Producers crowded the chamber to protest deteriorated roads across a roughly 3,000 km network, while officials estimate the levy would fund about 34% of a ARS 5.55 billion repair bill.
