9 progressive brackets (Impuesto a las Ganancias) updated semiannually for inflation
Argentina's hidden complexity: tax brackets are updated semiannually for inflation—check you're using current thresholds. 13th salary (aguinaldo) is taxed differently. A $50,000 USD earner pays roughly 15-20% effective rate. Non-residents: 35% flat. Single workers start paying at ~ARS 2.5M/month net (~$2,500 USD). ARCA (ex-AFIP) administers via SIRADIG.
Argentina uses a progressive income tax system called Impuesto a las Ganancias (Income Tax) with 9 brackets ranging from 5% to 35%. The tax is administered by ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero), which replaced AFIP in late 2024. Tax brackets are adjusted semiannually (January and July) based on inflation to maintain their real value. The tax-free threshold varies by family status—a single worker with no dependents begins paying tax from approximately ARS 2.5 million net monthly salary (around $2,500 USD). Non-residents pay a flat 35% on Argentine-sourced income. Argentina has tax treaties with several countries to prevent double taxation.

Get Paid as a Contractor →Argentina has 9 progressive tax brackets for 2026 under the Impuesto a las Ganancias: 5% on income up to ARS 2,000,030, then 9%, 12%, 15%, 19%, 23%, 27%, and 31% on successive brackets, with a top rate of 35% on annual income exceeding ARS 60,750,914. These thresholds are adjusted semiannually based on inflation.
For 2026, employees begin paying Impuesto a las Ganancias when their net monthly salary exceeds approximately: ARS 2,490,000 for single workers with no dependents, ARS 2,894,000 for married workers without children, and ARS 3,302,000 for married workers with two children. These thresholds include deductions like the Mínimo No Imponible and Deducción Especial.
Argentina updates its income tax brackets semiannually in January and July based on the consumer price index (IPC) inflation from the previous six months, as mandated by Law 27.743. For the first half of 2026, brackets were increased by 14.29% reflecting the July-December 2025 inflation rate. This automatic adjustment prevents bracket creep in Argentina's high-inflation economy.
Key deductions include: Mínimo No Imponible (basic personal allowance for all taxpayers), Deducción Especial (special deduction for employees, equal to 4.8x the minimum), and Cargas de Familia (deductions for spouse and dependent children). Workers can register these through the SIRADIG system on the ARCA website. Additional deductions exist for medical expenses, education, and domestic service.
Tax residents in Argentina (those staying 183+ days per year) are taxed on worldwide income at progressive rates from 5% to 35%. Non-residents and foreign beneficiaries working temporarily in Argentina pay a flat 35% tax calculated on presumed taxable income (typically 70% of gross payments for most services). Argentina has tax treaties with several countries to prevent double taxation.
