PerfilIndependentCenterFactual 95Objective 903 days agoThe Argentine government introduced changes to the foreign purchase regime through Decree 604/2026, which standardizes conditions for shipments made by Correo Argentino and private courier companies. The reform unifies existing customs procedures, affecting the ad valorem payment system rather than the method of payment with cards. According to accountant Aldana Fernández, purchases under $400 FOB are exempt from additional taxes, allowing up to five annual shipments per person. The new decree eliminates a single formula for calculating taxes on purchases exceeding $400, instead using statistical rates and import duties based on product classification. While the decree was recently published, operational details remain unclear, with ARCA tasked with regulating the new system. The cost of imports will vary depending on the product’s tariff category.

The winning combination was 04 - 10 - 14 - 17 - 25 - 32. However, due to tax regulations under National Law No. 20.630, the winner will not receive the full amount. The Agency for Revenue and Customs Control (ARCA) automatically deducts taxes, applying a 31% tax rate on 90% of the prize, while the remaining 10% is exempt as operational costs and settlement margins.
