Start a Business in Argentina — SRL, 25- 35% CIT, Knowledge Economy 15%, Mercosur
Argentine company formation involves incorporating a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SRL) through a notary or a Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada (SAS 24-hour digital formation) and registering with the IGJ (Inspección General de Justicia). Argentina is South America’s 3rd largest economy (45M consumers) with a complex but incentive-rich tax landscape: standard CIT is 25% on undistributed profits with a 7% dividend surcharge (effective ~35%), but the Knowledge Economy Law slashes CIT to 15% with 70% employer social contribution reduction for qualifying tech/IT companies. ARS 50,000 minimum capital for SRL. 100% foreign ownership. Capital controls (cepo cambiario) significantly impact profit repatriation expert structuring is essential. Mandatory CIT inflation adjustment adds unique complexity. Mercosur membership provides access to Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. The India-Argentina DTAA provides 10-15% on dividends. Comply Globally has helped 1,080+ entrepreneurs across 45+ countries.
