CAME Asks Caputo to Halt ARCA Embargos and Cut Fines for SMEs During Tax-Law Revision

The business group says temporary relief and a subsidized payment plan would protect small firms from immediate enforcement that risks closures as demand weakens.

Overview

  • On Thursday, June 4, CAME formally sent Economy Minister Luis Caputo a package of transitional requests asking that ARCA suspend embargos and fiscal executions for small and medium enterprises during the waiting period for a revised Ley de Inocencia Fiscal.
  • The group asked that companies which regularize an intimated obligation within 15 days after the waiting period face a 50% reduction in fines while full sanctions would apply only after that additional grace window expires.
  • CAME proposed a special moratoria covering debts due through May 31, 2026 that would allow up to 48 monthly installments, condone 50% of accrued interest, and offer subsidized financing set at half of Banco Nación’s passive rate.
  • Minister Caputo has confirmed the government will send a new version of the Ley de Inocencia Fiscal to Congress, but ARCA has not issued any public commitment and the CAME measures remain pending executive or regulatory action and legislative review.
  • CAME framed the requests as urgent because official SRT data and Fundar analysis show roughly 24,437 employer firms were lost in the first 27 months of the current administration and lower consumption has squeezed pymes, so the group says temporary relief could prevent more closures and job losses while the law is redrafted.
