Argentina
A top-tier passport reachable in two years and a first-world quality of life at emerging-market prices — wrapped around the most legally unstable immigration framework in the hemisphere.
Tax position
- Income tax (top)
- 35%
- Capital gains
- 15% on foreign securities and most disposals; 5% on peso-denominated instruments without an inflation adjustment clause
- Wealth tax
- yes — Bienes Personales, levied on residents' worldwide assets; rates have been cut under the 2024 reform and a prepayment regime (REIBP) was offered, but the tax exists and is the central planning problem
- Inheritance tax
- none federally; the Province of Buenos Aires levies its own transmisión gratuita de bienes
- Special regime
- None for individuals. RIGI (Régimen de Incentivo para Grandes Inversiones, Ley 27.742 of 2024) offers a 30-year stability guarantee for qualifying large projects, but it is a corporate regime and not a personal tax deal.
- Territorial
- No — worldwide income taxed
- CFC rules
- Yes
- Exit tax
- No
- CRS
