Deputies Panel Backs 1% Telecom Charge to Restore ENARD Funding

The bill now heads to a full Chamber debate under the threat of a presidential veto.

En una reunión de las comisiones de Deportes, Comunicaciones e Informática, y Presupuesto y Hacienda, una mayoría de 66 diputados sobre más de 70 aprobó emitir dictamen para el financiamiento del deporte de alto rendimiento mediante la restitución de un impuesto.

Overview

  • Three lower-house committees approved a majority opinion with 66 signatures to modify Law 26.573 and revive ENARD’s autonomous financing.
  • The proposal reinstates and expands a 1% levy on telecom and TIC billing—covering mobile, fixed lines, internet and cable—as a dedicated revenue stream.
  • Sponsors estimate the scheme would raise about USD 70 million a year, compared with roughly USD 13–14 million under current budget allocations.
  • The draft creates a Federal Council (COFARD) to allocate 40% of funds to provinces and advances a federal plan to support athletes, coaches and infrastructure.
  • Prominent athletes and Olympic officials backed the measure, while the government signaled opposition and a possible veto, with a plenary vote expected in early November.
