Government Enters AFA Tax Case as Complainant, IGJ Stalls Pilar Move

A judge authorized ARCA to pursue alleged improper retention of taxes worth about ARS 19.3 billion.

Overview

  • The economic criminal court accepted ARCA as a complainant, allowing it to access the file and request evidence in the case against AFA and Claudio Tapia.
  • After disputing oversight, AFA submitted documentation to the national IGJ to explain a mid‑2024 spending surge that officials say lacks sufficient support.
  • The IGJ cites accounting inconsistencies exceeding USD 400 million, including about USD 100 million in questioned 2024 expenses.
  • The regulator says the change of legal domicile to Pilar will not be approved until AFA regularizes its paperwork, and the purported new site is currently an empty lot with a sign.
  • Tapia, treasurer Pablo Toviggino, secretary general Cristian Malaspina, and director general Gustavo Lorenzo remain imputed in related probes led by prosecutor Claudio Navas Rial.
