How do tax credits work for international companies?

Argentine companies can credit up to 90% of taxes paid abroad against their local tax liability. The country has double taxation avoidance agreements with 20+ countries.

What advantages does access to the MERCOSUR market offer?

MERCOSUR membership ensures duty-free trade with Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and partially with Venezuela — a common market of over 300 million consumers. Preferential tariffs apply with associate members (Chile, Colombia, Peru), along with simplified customs procedures and mutual recognition of certificates of origin.

How long does full company registration with a bank account take?

It depends on the business type, but generally, you can set up a turnkey company from scratch in about 2–3 weeks, plus an additional 1–2 weeks to open a bank account.
