Win the 5th installment of the Buenos Aires patent: until when can I pay ARBA with a discount

The fifth installment of the Buenos Aires province vehicle tax, known as the Impuesto a los Automotores, is set to expire on Wednesday, July 8. The Agency for Revenue Collection of Buenos Aires Province (ARBA) has reminded taxpayers that they can still pay this installment with a discount until the deadline. This benefit offers up to a 10 percent reduction for those who are current on their payments and make the payment within the stipulated timeframe. According to ARBA, the discount applies regardless of the chosen payment method, provided the taxpayer does not have outstanding debts and adheres to the scheduled due date. This measure is part of a new system implemented this year, allowing taxpayers to pay the vehicle tax monthly in up to ten installments. The initiative aims to provide greater financial predictability for residents of Buenos Aires province. Taxpayers have several options available to them when making their payments. They can complete the process online via ARBA's official website under the section labeled "Pay Your Taxes." Here, individuals can settle their dues using a credit card or generate an electronic payment code for use at automated tellers. Additionally, digital payments can be made through the Cuenta DNI system. In such cases, taxpayers can scan the QR code sent by ARBA to the email address provided, which remains valid until the installment's expiration date. For those preferring in-person payments, options include authorized banks or Provincia Net Pagos kiosks. Before visiting these locations, taxpayers must download their invoices from ARBA’s website. The fifth installment of the vehicle tax is due on Wednesday, July 8. Those who are up to date and make the payment before the deadline will qualify for a discount of up to 10 percent. Payments can be made through ARBA’s website, using a credit card, generating an electronic code, utilizing Cuenta DNI, visiting authorized banks, or using Provincia Net Pagos kiosks. It is worth noting that this year, ARBA has established a new schedule where the vehicle tax can be paid monthly. Below are the dates for the 2026 installments of the Impuesto Automotor: First Installment and Annual Payment: March 10. Second Installment: April 9. Third Installment: May 7. Fourth Installment: June 9. Fifth Installment: July 8. Sixth Installment: August 11. Seventh Installment: September 10. Eighth Installment: October 9. Ninth Installment: November 10. Tenth Installment: December 10. This structured approach allows taxpayers to manage their obligations more effectively throughout the year. By spreading the cost over multiple months, individuals can better plan their finances without facing large lump-sum payments. The implementation of this system reflects ARBA’s efforts to improve the overall experience of paying taxes while ensuring compliance among taxpayers. As the deadline approaches, it is crucial for taxpayers to ensure they meet the requirements to receive the discount. Failure to pay on time could result in additional charges and penalties. Therefore, it is advisable to review the payment methods and deadlines carefully to avoid any inconvenience. With the new payment structure in place, taxpayers have more flexibility and control over their financial commitments related to the vehicle tax.
