The regulation was published in the Official Gazette on June 29, 2026, via Resolution General 5869/2026 by the Agency of Revenue and Customs Administration (ARCA), signed by Director Andrés Edgardo Vázquez.

The updated rules require affected parties to register their bank accounts and payment accounts to qualify for benefits, and they will take effect from June 18, 2026.
