    export tax is good for the economy, this striking farmers are digging their own graves, I think an agrarian reform will go a long way to fix this issues, and if this firms have anything to do with the strike, I think Argentina should use the oportunity to expropiate their land under a national security banner and give it to the struggling farmers who want to work.

    I think Cristina should stop hiding and acting like a Queen, she must do something now. She should stop blaming other people, she's the president (I'm not kidding guys, she really is the president of Argentina) Where is she now? In El Calafate? Who's in charge? El dolobu de Cobos? El soquete? El radical que era radical, pero kirchnerista, radical, no radical, no kirchnerista? Who's in charge in this country?

    Cristina should let this corporations dig their own grave, with the excuse that the national security is at threat from this strike she could call for an agrarian reform and redistribute the land to farmers willing to work for profits and pay the tax, doesn't cargil have any resposibility towards the city where they operate ?? #3 apparently cargill is in charge today.

    We should use Malvinas Argentinas tax laws as the blue print for our own tax laws, Malvinas seem to be having luck with it.
    Corporation Tax: Companies are charged Corporation Tax at 21% on the first £1 million and any amount thereafter at 26%.
    Corporate non-resident: offshore contractors involved in the search for petroleum will be chargeable to Corporation Tax at the normal (or full) rate of 26%.
    A pay and file system is in operation, which requires companies to pay Corporation Tax without demand and to file accounts, both within specified limits.
    Income Tax For individuals:
    2010 income tax year - Personal allowance (PA) £14,000, then the first £13,000 of net chargeable income is charged at 21% and any amount thereafter charged at 26%.
    Note: with effect from 1 January 2011 – PA £12,000, then the first £12,000 of net chargeable income is charged at 21% and any amount thereafter charged at 26%.

    Do you want us to run your taxation office for you, boys?
    Maybe give us the license to print your banknotes & let us dictate your fiscal policies too(at a percentage of course!)?
    Wonder how long it would take to get your economy in the black? oj!

    7 I 'We should use Malvinas Argentinas tax laws as the blue print for our own tax laws, Malvinas seem to be having luck with it.'

    I think this might be the first sensible thing you've said on here. Well done.
    I should add that people do actually have to pay their taxes for it to work.

    Xbox; do try to keep up. Isolde was offering the services of the FIG Taxation office. I'm sure the government economists and policy unit would be available for a fee as well.

    Two annoying little stats in the great Argentinian recovery:

    Peso Depreciation U$ 4.02 today

    Inflation 25-30%

    Even if your feeble minds can't grasp what it means, it is significant and you will see the economy's wheels flying off after the Nov elections. Or maybe they have enough reserves to have a very very slow drain until they are gone. Don't know yet time will tell. Just look at Venezuela and you will see your path. Weren't the doing well a few years ago when oil was $140/gal hmm not doing so well now is it?

    #9 When I said “we” I mean Argentine people, illegal aliens and pest don't count if you catch my drift. I was thinking that Argentina could benefit a lot from a 26% tax on export on all raw materail, and a fair tax on all finish producs. I seen this work in USA and EU for years, even Malvinas Argentina has them taxes, that's where I got the idea from, I don't see why Argentina couldn't use the same tax system used in Malvinas, don't you think that's bias ? how stupid do you really thihnk people are ?

    There is a big difference between taxing exorts and corporation tax you ignoramus. Unless you believe that all the income a company recieves is gross profit, for that to happen a company would have to operate with no expenses. Idiot.

    Corporation tax is a tax on profits. Ignoramus indeed. We don't impose taxes on exports of fish and wool. Because that would be stupid.
    Go ahead and tax all your exports, and we'll sit back and watch you wreck your economy (again).
    In answer to your question, I don't think most people are stupid, but you are quite exceptionally thick.

    I am not interested in corporate taxes, I am more interested in export tax
    if corporate tax is ment to finance the local government, than export tax should be higher then corporate tax, after all this exporting industry is using up local resources to allocate goods for people who don't have those resources, have overgown their resources or totally destroyed their own resources, you guys should be proud I want to use Malvinas tax system in Argentina, I don't know what your problem is everyone else pays taxes, Canada, USA, UK, Australia and now Argentina needs to step up to the dish, and every Argentine should support a tax on exports, if they want a well payed government job like the ones in Canada, USA, UK and Australia.

    Corporation Tax: Companies are charged Corporation Tax at 21% on the first £1 million and any amount thereafter at 26%.
    Corporate non-resident: offshore contractors involved in the search for petroleum will be chargeable to Corporation Tax at the normal (or full) rate of 26%.

    The fact that Argentina doesn't recognize fakland makes your tax an export tax, get over it are you or aren't you a british illegal alien ?? I mean you are not an Argentine, all I am saying is that if Malvinas Argentina is allowed to exploits 21% of pirats we should be hable to fine pirats with an export tax of the same % level if not higher, in any case #21 go to a UK page and tell them your problems, the Argentine people don't care much for illegal aliens who are't latinos anymore.

    “I am not interested in corporate taxes”

    No shit Sherlock, however I would hazard your ignorance about yaxation is a little broader than that, guess that level of ignorance is what comes of living in a country where you simply don't bother paying your taxes.

    You must be either insane, under the influence of something dodgy, or twelve years old.
    Are you seriously asking me if I'm an illegal alien? What answer do you expect?
    And who said they had any problems? Not me. I couldn't give rat's arse for the Argentine people or the racist views of nasty little runts like you.

    The system we have here is a perfectly normal taxation regime. We pay taxes, we get services in return. I don't expect you to understand it. You should however understand that whether you 'recognise' it or not makes not the slightest bit of difference.

    #23 I work for the movie industry and as you can see make enought money to sit here and piss on your fantazy land, I might have even payed through my taxes in one day for the sandwich you and your welfare family eated this year.
    #24 sure I am seriuos that is the same question we ask any minority in America, what are you too good to be asked the most commun question in America ?? I don't think there is any Argentine's in Malvinas, and I am not really interested in hearing a british political serlveserved monolog, you got to get me really early in the morning to have thatone past me, mean time why don't you tell your problem to the UK maybe they will care, now that you agree with me that taxes have to be payed for servivces to take place, I must remind you that in Argentina we also pay taxes to get services too, if this farmers keep it up the Argentine's bio industry will become ritch on behalf of disperate farmers, time and time again the Argentine president seem to have every angle covered, while some people are trying to figure out if to go to a uk group or insist in getting recognition from Argentina.
    “BIODIESEL INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
    A strong and integrated industrial complex.
    The Argentine biodiesel industry is mainly based on the
    use of soybean as feedstock. 31 companies are currently
    producing biodiesel, with an estimated annual production
    capacity of over 745 million liters. Production is
    geographically concentrated in the provinces of Buenos
    Aires and Santa Fe.”
    did anyone noticed where the road blocks were located ?? can anyone say Santa fe ?? ooopppsss, cargill will eventually fuel our cars, I think someone is being taken to the cleaners and hanged out to dry, I might be wrong but check the Argentine bio-fuel output compared to the fruit export loss for next year, what are the chances that there is a direct proportionate output of bio-fuel for every tone of fruit loss.

    Work for the movie industry do you? more like you've been watching too many movies I'd say. Given that Argentinians appear to be compulsive liars I'd hazard that you're the one on welfare I.
