    Is double taxation to be just with Chile (Switzerland and Austria?), or with the world at large?

    Obvious other candidates for double taxation would be the USA, Brasil and Uruguay, and every tax haven ...... but surely this would hit CFK and the ruling elite ....

    the “ double taxation” has been already inconvenient in technically and practically.

    With Uruguay she would hit the jackpot with double taxation, imagine all taxes in Punta del Este going to Argentina...
    Double taxation is outdated, people don't pay as much attention to borders as before and we are much more mobile.
    “CFK and her ruling elite” is right again, and you know it.

    @4 Guzz, “...people don't pay as much attention to borders as before and we are much more mobile.” - you've just explained why double taxation agreements exist, not why they shouldn't!
    Care to revisit your reasons?

    “Double taxation is outdated, people don't pay as much attention to borders as before and we are much more mobile.”

    I can't believe it... Guzz has finally has expressed a rational sentence!
    You see, it's not that hard...
    Hopefully he will not try to undo or “reframe” it, once he notices he has taken opposite position of CFK!

    Opposite position of CFK?
    Do you think I base my conclusions on what Cristina thinks?
    Double taxation is outdated, not because of ideological reasons, but for economical ones and implementation.

    One point that may have gone un-noticed - most dual taxation treaties also have tax information exchange clauses, allowing the two tax authorities to share information on individuals and companies. If they're tearing the whole thing up for a quick buck it'll bite them when they try to find out about Argentinian expats living in Chile. Speaking as a former tax officer I think it's likely that no-one in AFIP (outside of senior political appointees) will be in favour of this treaty being cancelled.

    I'm sorry, but you have an odd definition of “reliability”.

    I'd say a law in effect since 1976, through juntas, radical, peronist, and other governments is VERY RELIABLE.

    Argentina is accussed of changing laws at a capricious and daily rate. Here is one that lasted 40 years and it still does not appease the misfit crowd here.

    Can argie-haters ever be satisfied? All of you really are very disturbed. The obsession is akin to necrosis.

    Interesting time for Argentina to make a deal with Pinochet's Chile, 1976 just after (or just before?) the coup. Is the scrapping of the deal perhaps a move away from that bad past?
