Overview
- Twenty-six business chambers in Mendoza sent a formal letter to Governor Alfredo Cornejo asking for urgent measures to keep small and mid-sized firms operating.
- The letter calls for a 180‑day pause on fiscal enforcements and bank embargoes, lower interest on provincial tax payment plans, and relief on taxes tied to energy use.
- It also asks for cheaper productive loans through the provincial development fund, a shift toward smaller public works that hire fast, and provincial alignment with the national RIMI investment regime.
- At a joint hearing in the Chamber of Deputies, CAME told lawmakers that retail sales have fallen for 12 straight months and pressed for lower taxes, easier credit, a border‑trade harmonization law to curb contraband, and fixes so smaller firms can access RIMI with more time to invest.
- Mendoza’s local business group Cecitys is convening Customs, Gendarmerie, Federal Police, the provincial tax agency and Consumer Defense to coordinate enforcement against illegal trade and new provincial “internal customs” that demand advance turnover‑tax payments.
