Argentine Budget and Finance Committee approves Multilateral Instrument

On 31 July 2024, the Budget and Finance Committee of the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill to ratify the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) to implement Tax-Treaty-Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS).

Argentina signed the MLI on 7 June 2017, including a provisional list of expected Reservations and Notifications covering the bilateral tax treaties signed by Argentina.

Once the law is approved and published in the Official Gazette, the MLI will enter into force upon the expiration of a period of three calendar months beginning on the date the instrument is submitted to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation (OECD) for ratification.

A case-by-case analysis should be made to identify the potential impact of the MLI in cross-border transactions involving multinational companies with a presence in Argentina.
