Buenos Aires Rolls Out Gross Receipts Tax Relief for Independent Service Workers

Relief applies automatically to debt-free service providers in the city's Simplified Regime.

Overview

  • City tax agency AGIP is now applying the Ingresos Brutos relief for independent service providers after a plan promoted by Chief of Government Jorge Macri.
  • Ingresos Brutos is a local turnover tax on gross sales, and the plan grants a full exemption to categories A–C and a 75% discount to categories D–H in the Simplified Regime.
  • Officials report 47,000 people already benefiting, including 35,000 fully exempt and 12,000 with partial reductions, from a potential pool of more than 140,000.
  • The benefit posts automatically for qualifying payers because AGIP cross-checks registration and activity data and withholds charges when no debt is on file.
  • About 93,000 eligible contributors must clear back taxes through a moratorium that runs until April 30 to unlock relief, with coverage focused on 22 non‑professional trades such as hairdressers, mechanics, photographers, editors, and personal trainers.
