World Bank Approves $300 Million Loan for Argentina’s Tax Agency Overhaul

ARCA must hit digital upgrade benchmarks to unlock funds as part of IMF-aligned fiscal reforms.

Overview

  • The project-by-results loan carries a seven-year grace period and a 32-year repayment term tied to performance.
  • Disbursements will depend on ARCA meeting milestones in automating processes and prefilled tax form implementation.
  • Funds are earmarked to simplify procedures, improve taxpayer information access and reduce administrative burdens.
  • Recent ARCA system outages have accelerated efforts to stabilize platforms before rolling out new digital services.
  • This credit complements an earlier $800 million IDB loan and supports Argentina’s broader strategy to enhance fiscal compliance and attract private investment.
