The measures taken by the Government establish the purchase of foreign currency in an unlimited way for human people residing in the country when it is for savings and virtual platforms (it should be noted that if it is in cash there is a top of 100 USD per month) this is what the communication “A” 8226 of the Central Bank says.

The perception is without effect for the purchase of dollar to binding; Therefore for this type of operations the exchange rate is equal to the officer. But what about the rest of the operations such as; Purchases and consumption abroad by credit or debit card, hiring of tourism services or passages abroad, consumption of streaming platforms? To the official exchange rate you have to add 30% of the perception of profits that remains in force, (which we call dollar or tourist dollar). What can we do to avoid it?

Pay with dollars in account by choosing the conversion to pesos.

What if the perception is already made because we forget to pay that way?

If we are subjects registered in profits or employees in a dependency relationship with retentions, take it as payment on account in the affidavit or load it in Siradig respectively. If we are exempt in profits, monotributists or employees without withholdings; We can request the return to the agency with the subsequent accreditation of bank account of the holder, although we recommend trying to avoid it and ask for its return since in this second option we depend on the collection agency, with the bureaucracy and obstacles that this entails and taking into account that the passage of time brings a loss of the purchasing power of the currency and there are procedures that take until more than a year.

In this context of uncertainty, new measures, abrupt changes etc. It is always good to have knowledge of the issue for an improvement in decision making.

It is important to be clear that regardless of whether the stocks have been removed, there are still different exchange rates as an alternatives to the official dollar, in this case tourist dollar or card.
