Looks like it's a 1% tax and it only applies if you are paying with cash, money orders, or cashier's checks. There's no tax if you are paying with cards or bank accounts.

"The media campaign claiming that public television will not broadcast the 2026 World Cup is an attempt to discredit the Government's administration. In fact, I am personally carrying out the arrangements so that Argentinians can watch the World Cup in the most efficient way." -Presidential...

The answers for each of these questions is NOT "no one", therefore someone will always be complaining. Who is against a balanced budget? Who likes very high inflation? Who likes the government to lose money through fraud? Who is against accountability of how public funds are spent? Who...

“I have instructed the Ministry of Security and the City Police that if they find any person or group of people rummaging through the containers and dirtying our city, they should demand immediate cleaning and ordering of everything. ***IF THEY REFUSE***, they should be sanctioned according to...

It's quite different to buy an apartment where you already intend to stay full time or at least parts of the year. In that scenario, it could be a good decision whether Milei gets reelected or not, and regardless of the exchange rate being high or low. However, allocating capital to Argentina...

If I were in charge of making a decision on whether to invest my money directly in Argentina, I would wait to see whether Milei will be re-elected. If Milei fails to get re-elected, then all his policies could potentially be rolled back. The people of Argentina must reelected Milei to show...

1. It is very unfair to assume 'the maid probably tipped off someone' just because a home with a safe was broken into. However, 'having a maid probably tipped off someone' would be a more reasonable assumption if OP mentioned a maid at all. 2. Diversification (not putting all your eggs in one...

I think the 2 to 3 years estimate seems to be quoted more in articles by publications critical of Milei. I am not sure that estimate applies to two presidents who like to govern by execute orders. I suspect the immigration reforms announced earlier in the year by Milei might be related to the...

Looks like it might take a few months to implement the change, but Argentina passport holders will be able to visit the US without a visa under the US Visa Waiver Program. Besides the obvious benefits and conveniences for Argentinian travelers, it's a big vote of confidence from the US and...

Maybe those closed shops figured out too late that raising prices when demands are decreasing is not the right way to increase revenue. Seems like many business people there don't understand the concept of increasing sales by lowering prices and improving efficiency. Maybe more and more people...

I would imagine almost everyone would tell you to get a remote job before moving to Buenos Aires. If that is not possible, you better have a lot of savings on hand because even if you do find something locally soon after the move, chances are, it's not going to pay well especially since you...

The only question I have is why did she write the article? What was the purpose? Beyond that, I think the couple are adults who are making decisions with eyes wide open and both have made sacrifices in order to be together, and for their family. Yes, the kids didn't have a choice, but how many...

The crazy thing is that even if it gets to 1,400 by election day, it might not even make up for the price inflation in ARS despite the lower inflation rate this year. Therefore, any expat or future expats with income in USD, especially those on fixed income, better be prepared to continue to...

I have to agree with @Larry on this one! That is terrible reporting. Using the way the magazine did their calculation, the USD would go more than 350% further compared to 2 years ago!!! What a joke indeed! Even if they didn't know about the different exchange rates and that using the...

My point is that laziness isn't the problem. What has been lacking is the motivation to be more efficient at the workplace. A perfect example of that is at the restaurants. If being more efficient (getting more customers in and out faster) doesn't translate to more pay (propinas, if any at...

There's nothing wrong with being lazy. I am lazy. That laziness drives me to be more efficient, not be wasteful, save, and invest, so that I don't have to work so much. Laziness is the primary source of motivation for most of the inventions we enjoy today.

@Avocado, I have some additional comments that you might want to read before you do something that you and your cousin might regret. DM me because I cannot DM you. Others, DM me if you have DM @Avocado before and would like to forward my message. I do request that my message not be posted...

Yes, technically, 'fair is fair', but it's also a case of 'stupid is as stupid does.' Surely it will negatively impact their tourist industry, especially when tourists from the US, Canada, and Australia are probably some of the biggest spenders. And what will Brazil gain from it? A little...

@Avocado, do your cousin and yourself a favor and tell him to forget about what you told him. Unless you, your cousin and the rest of your families are squeaky clean, there is a high risk that everyone involve gets some mud on their faces in the end. Letitia James vs. Donald Trump is a...
