Congress began the debate on the Wealth Tax, a tax proposed by Máximo Kirchner and with which the ruling party seeks to collect about 307 billion pesos that will be applied to health plans and productive projects in the current context of Covid19.

With his fortune seized, the leader of La Cámpora will not be exempt from facing this new tax if the initial parameters are maintained: those who have assets of 200 to 300 million pesos,

must contribute 2%

.

Before the Anticorruption Office (OA),

Máximo declared to be the owner of $ 292 million.

According to the AFIP, at least 10,000 taxpayers will be affected by the tax promoted by Kirchnerism.

In opposition they argue that the universe of natural persons who will have to face this tax will be even greater.

How is the proposed scale that will be debated in the Chamber of Deputies?

Those who have assets of 200 million pesos must pay 2%.

This rate rises to 2.25% for fortunes between 300 and 400 million pesos;

at 2.50% between 400 and 600 million pesos.

The rise continues at 2.75% for those who own a fortune of 600 to 800 million pesos.

The scale continues: 3% tax on assets between 800 and 1500 million pesos;

3.25% to those from 1500 million to 3000 million, and finally 3.5% to those who have assets over 3000 million pesos.

With his fortune completely seized, the deputy Máximo Kirchner, however, will also have to face this tax, since he declared that he had 292 million pesos: in one year his assets grew almost 50%.

The patrimony of the son of the vice president is largely the product of the assets inherited by Néstor Kirchner.

This heritage includes

25 properties

, the shareholding in three companies (Los Sauces SA, Hotesur SA, CoMa SA), there was

a set of fixed terms that resulted years later in the 6 million dollars

 that the Justice found in a safe on behalf of Florencia Kirchner.

But also, since March 2016 Cristina Kirchner granted all her assets in equal parts to her two children, which also increased the assets declared by the national deputy.

Since then the main fortune of the Kirchner family has been Maximo.

Before the Anticorruption Office (OA) he declared to have 291,739,213.02 pesos, which represents an increase of almost 100 million in one year in relation to the previous fiscal period.

This figure is higher than the assets that Cristina Kirchner had when she left the Casa Rosada, when she declared assets for 77 million pesos.

The national deputy declared among his assets a savings account in dollars, with 516,072.46 dollars as a result of the inheritance, which he admits was equivalent to 30,804,365.14 pesos when he signed the declaration.

It is not the only thing that declared in foreign currency.

In his affidavit, he also consigned

another savings bank with $ 2,332,000

, also a product of the inheritance, which in local currency is equivalent to 139,197,080 pesos.

That is, Máximo said he had a total of $ 2,848,072.

Almost three million, with an exchange rate of 59.69 pesos.

It becomes the main basis of your wealth.

Regarding the properties that he declared, of those

27 properties,

two were bought with his own income and the rest are the product of the inheritance received: They have a value of $ 89,801,321.

Despite the declared figure, Máximo Kirchner faces two legal proceedings for money laundering and in one of those cases he was prosecuted as the organizer of the criminal maneuvers, the vice president being the head of the illicit association, according to the accusation.

In total,

its embargoes exceed 900 million pesos

.

Can you in this situation cope with a new tax?

The embargo only prevents him from selling, getting rid of his assets, and the judicial interventions ordered on the companies drove him from their administration without being able to make a direct usufruct of the commercial product.

However, this does not exempt you from tax responsibilities.

If the project is approved as it was proposed,

for this new tax it would have to face a payment of 5,840,000 pesos.

Everything that corresponds to him in front of the collecting body, "even if he is not in charge of the management of his assets, it

will be referred to the judicial intervention

, which will have to face the corresponding", judicial sources indicated to

Clarín.

Currently, judicial intervention is the one that deals - with the income of the companies - of paying a tax holiday to which Máximo Kirchner entered after four years of unpaid taxes.

These liens correspond to him as the owner of 50% of the inherited properties that are managed and operated by the Maximum Condominium and Florencia Kirchner.

Last year, the Justice exempted the daughter of the vice president from facing the payment of taxes and derived such responsibility to the intervention. The same criterion was applied with the debt acquired by the national deputy that exceeded $ 4 million.
