Overview

• Governor Ignacio “Nacho” Torres announced 0% export duties on value added, 0% import tariffs, and exemptions from ingresos brutos, stamp and property taxes, plus municipal fee waivers and flat water and electricity rates.
• The measure targets companies that locate in the Trelew and Comodoro Rivadavia free‑trade zones to lower costs and attract investment.
• The rollout was presented at the Salón de los Constituyentes in Rawson with mayors, business chambers, and officials from Customs, ARCA, and the Investment and Foreign Trade Agency.
• Torres framed the incentives as a push to generate labor‑intensive jobs and shift the province toward local processing and higher value addition.
• He urged Comodoro Rivadavia’s mayor to formally adhere, and officials signaled that municipal approvals and operational rules will determine when the benefits take effect.
