Request for clarification
The real estate chambers met on Thursday with the entity directed by Mercedes Marcó del Pont to learn about General Resolution No. 4933, which regulated the registration regime last week, and learn more about the steps to follow to complete the process.
The event, which took place virtually and in which more than 800 people participated, was convened by the Argentine Real Estate Chamber (CIA), the Foundation for Real Estate Development Studies (FEDI), the Real Estate Training Institute (ICI) and the Federation Real Estate of the Argentine Republic (FIRA).
The AFIP also advances in an exchange with
the tenant groups.
The virtual meeting was led by the AFIP's Deputy Director of Taxpayer Services, Patricia Vaca Narvaja, and was attended by more than 800 people related to the subject.
The president of the CIA, Alejandro Juan Bennazar, highlighted the predisposition from the AFIP for the meeting.
"When the news came, we communicated and had the buy-in" from the agency, Bennazar said.
And he added: "The total predisposition that we found is valuable. This talk shows it, with a very interesting didactic material. I thank on behalf of our sectors."
Although they are not obligated subjects
, the regulations contemplate the possibility that intermediaries (brokers, real estate agents and notaries)
register a contract on behalf of their clients.
Extension request
In a note sent to the AFIP, in the middle of this week, the Professional Council of Economic Sciences stated that
"the term to register the contracts in force as of March 1 is very limited
, with the deadline being April 15", and therefore For this reason, they asked to extend the term until August 30.
Accountants in a letter signed by the president of the Council, Dr. Gabriela Russo warned that the proposal to postpone the registration deadline for 60 days, "does not harm the collection."
Another point they raised was the possibility of unifying the procedure
"to avoid duplication of tasks and optimize working time
.
"
In the note, they also asked to clarify
what documentation should be attached
at the time of filing the regime in the alleged cases in which there is no written lease agreement;
where the only support is the issuance of an invoice or receipt.
