What this value means

Artículo 16: 'Tasas.- Fíjanse las siguientes tasas: A) Básica del 22% (veintidós por ciento). B) Mínima del 10% (diez por ciento).' The tasa mínima (10%) applies to essentials such as basic foodstuffs, medicines, health services and tourism/hotel services; a 0%/exempt treatment applies to exports and specified goods. The 22% rate has applied since 1 July 2007, when the Reforma Tributaria (Ley 18.083 de 27/12/2006, reglamentada por Decreto 207/007) cut it from 23%. The same article mandates a gradual reduction of the tasa básica to 20% conditional on fiscal targets — never exercised as of July 2026. Ley 19.210 (financial-inclusion) grants point-of-sale IVA rebates for certain electronic payments, which reduce the effective — not statutory — rate. The successor Texto Ordenado 2023 (Decreto 101/024, IMPO base todgi2023) integrates the same rates; the TO 1996 article remains the canonical cross-referenced text.
