Overview

  • Residents and companies can now pay ABL, Patentes, selected procedures and traffic fines in cryptocurrency via QR codes.
  • The city is developing an aggregator to allow direct payments from any crypto wallet, expanding beyond the limited wallets that work today.
  • Buenos Aires updated its economic activity classifier to include crypto-related activities, which authorities say carries no fiscal cost and harmonizes data across jurisdictions.
  • The new classification lets the city identify virtual-asset service providers and exclude them from certain bank-withholding regimes for Ingresos Brutos to protect working capital.
  • Officials propose calculating Ingresos Brutos on crypto trades using only the price difference rather than the full transaction amount to align treatment with currencies and other stores of value.
