Federal Court Restores ARBA Rule Keeping Buenos Aires Registries Collecting Provincial Taxes

The appeals panel said halting the long‑standing mechanism would seriously undermine provincial revenue.

Overview

  • Sala I of the Cámara Federal de La Plata revoked a prior injunction and reinstated ARBA’s Resolución Normativa 26/2024.
  • Sectional offices of the DNRPA in Buenos Aires must continue acting as collection agents for Automotor and Stamp taxes.
  • Judges emphasized a 34‑year uninterrupted practice and found no comparable harm to the national government from continuing collections.
  • The ruling overturns a first‑instance measure obtained by the national Ministry of Justice as part of its 2024 deregulation push.
  • ARBA presented records showing roughly ARS 255,000 million collected in four months, with the decision signed on September 5 and reported on September 9.
