Regulatory Framework
CNV General Resolution 1058/2025 regulates PSAVs: those acting as a business for third parties must register before operating and are subject to CNV supervision, regulation, inspection, and sanctions. Own-account exchanges and ordinary goods-or-services payments are outside the PSAV definition. Registration is not a CNV license and does not validate every asset, product, or risk; verify the legal entity, category, and current status.

Deadline

ARCA distinguishes individuals, businesses, and Argentine or foreign source. For certain individuals, Argentine-source disposals can be taxed at 5% or 15%; losses offset only the same type of gains and can have a five-year period. Crypto assets can also be subject to personal-property tax. This calculator does not show a single figure.
