Taxes are 21% of the rent received on the property, or deemed to have been received. If the property was empty and you were out of the country you will be deemed to have been renting the property unless you can prove is was empty. There will also asset taxes (bienes personales). On any unpaid...

14 days ! Im glad I dont work ! Sounds like something from the victorian age.

The basic sounds terrible for a middle management position, I was earning more than that in 1989 !. With an allowances of £2,000-£3,000 PCM it sounds more appealing. For UK residents the first £8105 is tax free then the tax rate 20%,then after £34,370 the rate rises to 40%. There is also...

I've had success with an HSBC account at almost all ATMs in uruguay.

I was concerned with another dictatorship in another country for those 4 years.

I might comment on how this is just a short-term fix and blah blah blah but I also read that inflation was under control because of Cristina's efforts at a beautiful 9%. I don't really care for numbers released by Argentina anymore.

It never fails that someone brings up the US when Argentina is the subject. Of course there are some rotten apples among the NYPD police but corruption is not the NORM there as it is in Argentina. I suppose even the NYPD police who took bribes have the decency not to leave a woman unconscious...
