    Travel The new airlines

    I have used the new Avianca service to Mar del Plata and I have no complaints, not that Avianca is a new airline. It was pretty cheap. Aerolineas has o had some pretty cheap flights to just about anywhere in the country.

    Newcomer Is Puerto Madero safe to walk around at night?

    It's as safe as Ft Lauderdale, Miami Beach or NY City. These days, anything can happen anywhere. I've been in Argentina the better part of the last 7 years and feel safer here than in Ft Lauderdale, where my house is.

    Taxes Hefty tax on property sale!

    Well I'm happy to report that my friend's AFIP tax bill was reduced from nearly $34,000 to just $4,000. He has to pay the accountant for his work which was a substantial amount but obviously still works out at a big saving. If I find out more details of what the precise errors were, will post.

    Taxes Hefty tax on property sale!

    There was no bienes personales to be paid, ndcj, because the apartment was below the threshold for this kind of tax. His ABL was up to date.
