Frequently asked questions
How much income tax do I pay in Argentina if I'm an employee?
Argentina has a progressive income tax system with 9 brackets ranging from 5% to 35%, applied to your taxable income after deductions. You get a combined personal allowance of ARS 26,143,531.02, and the highest rate of 35% kicks in once your taxable income exceeds ARS 53,153,257. The exact amount you owe depends on your gross salary and which bracket you fall into.
What social security contributions do I need to pay as an employee in Argentina?
As an employee in Argentina, you contribute a total of 17% to social security: 11% for pension fund, 3% for healthcare, and 3% for social services. These contributions are deducted from your gross income before income tax is calculated, which lowers your overall tax burden. There are monthly caps on these contributions that increase by 50% in June and December.
Do I pay income tax on my full salary in Argentina?
No, your taxable income is reduced by a combined allowance of ARS 26,143,531.02 before the income tax brackets are applied. Additionally, your 17% social security contributions are deducted from your gross income, further reducing the amount subject to income tax. This means your actual tax is calculated on a significantly lower base than your gross salary.
Is there a flat tax rate in Argentina or multiple tax brackets?
Argentina uses a progressive tax system with 9 income tax brackets, not a flat tax. Rates start at 5% on the lowest income and increase progressively up to 35% for high earners, meaning you pay different rates on different portions of your income. This progressive structure is designed so lower earners pay less while higher earners pay more.
What's the highest income tax rate in Argentina and when do I pay it?
The highest income tax rate in Argentina is 35%, which applies to taxable income exceeding ARS 53,153,257 after your personal allowance is deducted. Before reaching this top bracket, you'll move through 8 other brackets with rates ranging from 5% to 31%, so the 35% rate only applies to income above that threshold.
