Rural Lobby Confronts Buenos Aires Fiscal Bill, Warns of Executive Overreach

The SRA urges the provincial Legislature to define valuations, installments and bonuses by law.

Overview

  • SRA says Article 133 would let the provincial Executive intervene in rural property valuations without agreed criteria.
  • The group argues Article 167 would allow changing unpaid installments within the same fiscal year, hurting producers’ planning.
  • SRA and Carbap reject a new “fifth installment” of the Rural Property Tax, which Carbap describes as a 25% extra charge.
  • Carbap estimates 5.8 million hectares are affected by flooding with 1.5 million at risk of total unproductivity and roughly US$2 billion in lost income.
  • La Nación reports 19 partidos are exempted from the Rural Property Tax, but rural groups insist the bill still needs clear legislative limits and there is no reported legislative decision yet.
