Buenos Aires Cancels 2026 Car-Tax Bills After Valuation Error, Sets 31.8% Cap and New Payment Dates

AGIP will reissue corrected digital notices later in February after a switch to ACARA values triggered steep, incorrect increases for a portion of vehicle owners.

Overview

  • Corrected bills will appear on the AGIP website on February 18 and in homebanking on February 20, with a unified due date of February 27 for the first installment and the annual payment option.
  • Previous notices were removed from portals and banking systems, automatic debits were canceled, and residents were told not to pay the withdrawn bills.
  • Any amounts already paid will be recorded automatically as a credit; annual payers may request a refund through the city’s online TAD system once the new liquidations are available.
  • Officials said the issue stemmed from moving the fiscal valuation source from DNRPA to ACARA, which produced abrupt miscalculations affecting roughly 16% of registered vehicles, with some increases exceeding 100%.
  • Mayor Jorge Macri sent a bill to the City Legislature to enshrine a 31.8% cap tied to the 2025 IPCBA, and AGIP confirmed the new issuances will not exceed that limit.
