Overview
- The government’s political committee agreed to present the reform texts in the coming days and seek treatment in extraordinary sessions of Congress, coordinating support with governors alongside the 2026 budget talks.
- Minister Federico Sturzenegger promoted the labor overhaul as a path to higher pay and more formal jobs, arguing that cutting various workplace “peajes” could lift wages by about ARS 100,000 per worker.
- Pressed on changes to the small‑taxpayer regime, Sturzenegger said details fall to Economy Minister Luis Caputo, with officials saying the goal is to “order” the income‑tax systems while no official bill has been released.
- Reports say the tax package under discussion includes options touching the monotributo used by roughly 2.16 million contributors, prompting alarm from monotributista groups and fresh organizing by unions such as the CGT and CTA.
- Analysts warn that scrapping the simplified regime without careful design could worsen informality, with proposals for a unified personal‑income tax and references in press coverage to language cited from the IMF program being scrutinized.
