ARBA Begins Door-to-Door Drive to Clear Eligible Retirees’ Property-Tax Debts

The push targets roughly 17,000 people with $798 million in arrears who qualify for a full break under set rules.

Overview

  • ARBA announced the plan Monday to regularize and exempt retirees from the Buenos Aires provincial property tax after flagging about 17,000 people owing roughly $798 million.
  • The relief forgives up to five years of past-due bills and waives future payments for those who qualify.
  • Eligibility requires household income at or below two minimum pensions, ownership of a single home in the province, a fiscal value under $6 million, and no registration for the Gross Income tax.
  • Teams working with municipalities and the provincial pension agency will go house to house, hold special help days, and request an ANSES list to identify people who qualify but have not claimed the benefit.
  • The process starts online and finishes with in-person document checks, and ARBA says 35,051 retirees already receive this property-tax exemption.
