In practice, this implies that the Corporate Income Tax rate is reduced from 35% to 14%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiscal Stability until 12\/31\/2019: Until that date, the tax burden for national taxes can not be increased, from the application of the benefit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus for the payment of taxes: Tax credit bonus that arises from 70% of what is paid as employer contributions, which can be used to pay other national taxes, such as VAT.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtaining a certificate of non-withholding of VAT: The beneficiaries will avoid suffering from withholdings and \/ or VAT perceptions from their customers and suppliers respectively, avoiding a higher tax cost that affects their liquidity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Who can enroll in the scheme?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The legal entities incorporated in the Argentine Republic that comply with at least two of the following conditions may be adhered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a) Accreditation of expenses in research and software development activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b) Accreditation of a recognized quality standard applicable to software products or processes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">c) Realization of software exports.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Technological District of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the exclusive benefits for the activity, if the development of the software is carried out in the Technological District of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) located in the Parque Patricios area, the benefits are even greater, since the Companies will enjoy the following advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exemption of up to 10 years in gross income tax with definitive registration to the regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deferral of 2 years in the payment of the Tax on gross income with provisional registration, until obtaining the definitive registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exemption or deferral of Stamp Tax<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exemption for 10 years in the payment of the ABL (Lighting, Sweeping and Cleaning) for the properties of the area that are owned or rented by the employees in relation of dependence of the companies registered in the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-refundable subsidies to finance up to 50% of the cost of obtaining quality certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferential credit lines of the City of Buenos Aires Bank for financing the purchase of buildings and constructions, and for the acquisition of homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>In Province of Buenos Aires<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those subjects constituted or domiciled in the Province of Bs. As. That are enrolled in the Promotion Regime for the software industry of Law 25,922 will be exempt from the payment of the Tax on the Gross Income and Real Estate Tax. Likewise, the legal acts related to said activity will be exempt from Stamp Tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The tax exemption will be 100% in the case of beneficiaries who have manifested in their application for registration to the Software Industry Promotion Regime that, a percentage higher than 80% of the activities developed is part of the promotion. For those who have declared a percentage higher than 50% and up to 80%, the tax exemption will be 70%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these promotion regimes encourage and enhance the development of the activity, for young companies that are growing in the industry, it is not a simple decision to apply them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of benefits require requirements that imply having a solid organizational structure, since they must assume legal, labor and financial commitments that demand greater formality in operations and therefore an increase in operating expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most decisions are made by weighing the costs, commitments and complexities versus the benefits, but the fundamental factor that makes the difference is the growth projection that the company has towards the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies that have confidence, security and good prospects in their business project will not hesitate to apply these benefits, since their final costs will be more competitive when measured with other companies in the sector thus improving their market position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, it is advisable to make a diagnosis of the situation of the company before making a decision, to ensure that the structure costs do not exceed projected revenues, and if appropriate, manage the registration, with a strategy that Allow him to start enjoying the benefits as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPN.
