ARBA Grants Rural Property Tax Relief to Flood‑Hit Farms in 19 Buenos Aires Districts

Relief targets producers with losses above 50%, activating automatically after provincial disaster certification.

Overview

  • The measure provides exemptions and due‑date extensions on the Rural Property Tax for qualifying agricultural holdings affected by recent floods.
  • Eligibility thresholds are set at a minimum 50% loss of productive capacity for emergency status and 80% for disaster cases.
  • Producers must obtain an emergency or disaster certificate through the Ministry of Agrarian Development, submit supporting documentation and ARCA registration, and CEDABA then validates claims.
  • Once CEDABA issues the declaration, ARBA automatically applies the exemptions or deferrals, suspending fiscal executions for six months and extending Banco Provincia loan deadlines.
  • The policy initially applies in 19 central and western districts, including Bolívar, Trenque Lauquen and Nueve de Julio, responding to floods that provincial estimates say affected more than five million hectares.
