Overview
- The tax reform bill cleared the Chamber of Deputies and is slated for an imminent Senate debate, with the ruling bloc signaling sufficient support for passage.
- Key changes lift tax‑crime thresholds—evasion simple to $100 million and aggravated to $1,000 million—while allowing extinction of penal action upon full payment under set conditions.
- The plan creates a Simplified Income Tax regime for individuals and undivided estates with income up to $1,000 million and patrimony under $10,000 million, offering a liberatory effect if the declaration is accepted.
- Automatic fines jump sharply (e.g., from $200/$400 to $220,000/$440,000), and Caputo pledged ARCA will issue a 10–15 business‑day reminder and scale penalties by days of delay to avoid inflexible sanctions.
- ARCA advanced parallel measures: new virtual‑asset reporting under RG 5804/2025 with $50 million/$30 million thresholds effective for filings due from May 2026, updated monotributo scales on January 1 with recategorizations in early Feb and August 2026, and a higher transfer‑pricing reporting floor of $1.5 billion.
