01 — Compliance
Tax, e-invoicing, data-protection and AI rules that shape an ERP, billing system or AI agent in Argentina. Last reviewed October 2026.
| Indirect tax | IVA, standard rate 21% (10.5% reduced; 27% on certain utilities)IVA is 21% general, with 10.5% and 27% rates for specific supplies. Since January 2025 the Fiscal Transparency Regime (Law 27.743) requires invoices and tickets to final consumers to itemise the VAT and other national taxes included. |
|---|---|
| E-invoicing | Mandatory · Factura electrónica ARCA (CAE authorization)All VAT-registered taxpayers and monotributistas must issue electronic invoices authorized with an ARCA (formerly AFIP) CAE code and QR. RG 5824/2026 extends coverage further, e.g., to small contributors in the social-inclusion regime from 1 Nov 2026 and to VAT-exempt persons by 1 Mar 2027. |
| Data protection | Ley 25.326 de Protección de los Datos PersonalesIn force and supervised by the AAIP, with EU adequacy status; GDPR-style replacement bills were introduced in Congress in 2026 but not enacted. |
| AI rules | No AI-specific statute; AI-related bills, including proposals on AI and personal data, are pending in Congress. |
| Systems we migrate from or connect to | Tango Gestión (Axoft), Colppy, Xubio, Contabilium, Alegra, SAP Business One, OdooMasters, ledgers, stock and open balances move across and are reconciled before cutover. |
| Payment rails for web apps and SaaS | Mercado Pago, MODO, Transferencias 3.0 (interoperable QR), Payway, Ualá Bis |
| Also worth knowing | A history of high inflation means ERPs must support inflation-adjusted financial statements and frequent price updates, plus provincial gross-income tax (IIBB) withholding and perception regimes alongside national ones. |
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements during discovery; your tax adviser should confirm anything that affects filings.

Start a conversation05 — FAQ
Yes. Flip Retail is based in Jaipur, India, and works with Argentina businesses remotely. We have no office in Argentina; discovery happens on video calls, you get working software every two weeks, and the engineers who write the code are on the calls.
Yes. Invoicing is built for Argentina's IVA (standard rate 21%). All VAT-registered taxpayers and monotributistas must issue electronic invoices authorized with an ARCA (formerly AFIP) CAE code and QR. RG 5824/2026 extends coverage further, e.g., to small contributors in the social-inclusion regime from 1 Nov 2026 and to VAT-exempt persons by 1 Mar 2027. A custom ERP connects to ARCA through its official API or an accredited provider, and we confirm the current requirements in discovery.
In force and supervised by the AAIP, with EU adequacy status; GDPR-style replacement bills were introduced in Congress in 2026 but not enacted. You choose where the system is hosted, access is role-based, and we work on test or masked data during development wherever possible.
Yes. Masters, ledgers, stock items and opening balances move across and are reconciled with your accountant before cutover, ideally at a year-end or quarter-end.
No AI-specific statute; AI-related bills, including proposals on AI and personal data, are pending in Congress. We design AI agents with logging, human oversight and clear disclosure from the start, which covers most current requirements.
