ARCA Eases VAT Withholding-Exclusion Certificates for Subsidized, Reduced-Rate Taxpayers

The change targets cases where subsidies or reduced VAT rates generate recurring credits without an operational refund mechanism.

Overview

  • Argentina’s ARCA issued General Resolution 5774/2025, published today in the Official Gazette, to relax access to VAT exclusion certificates.
  • The measure creates an exception to General Resolution 2226 by allowing the administrative judge to disregard item (h) of Article 4 in specified cases.
  • Eligible filers include those receiving state subsidies, tariff compensations or assistance funds, and those operating at reduced VAT rates without a functioning refund regime.
  • The resolution applies immediately and extends to applications already pending, enabling quicker decisions without restarting the process.
  • When a challenge is decided in favor of the taxpayer, the certificate will be posted on ARCA’s website and will take effect from the date of that online publication.
  • ARCA cites tax administration reasons and alignment with the Executive’s relief initiatives to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary delays in collection procedures.
