Property Taxes

Property taxes in Argentina can be difficult at best. The amount you are responsible to pay is based on the fiscal value of the property and may not reflect the price you paid for the property. The tax is .75% of the fiscal value and you will not receive a property tax bill. You will need to hire an attorney to prepare your property tax bill then have a local pay the tax on your behalf. It's very important that foreigners pay their property taxes each year as the fines for back taxes can be steep and when selling the property you are required to have your property taxes up to date before you receive permission to sell.

The process may sound difficult so finding trustworthy representation for both a purchase and a sale is important. Finding a knowledgeable and honest attorney to supervise these transactions is imperative and will ensure the process is quick and easy and as cost effective as possible.
