A study analyzes the potential financial benefits of rental income compared to fixed-term deposits, considering the implications of a proposed tax exemption on rental properties in Argentina.
A recent study has examined how rental income stacks up against earnings from fixed-term deposits in Argentina, especially in light of proposed tax reforms that could significantly impact property owners. Signed by President Javier Milei on December 11, 2025, the Labor Modernization Law includes Article 188, which introduces two tax reforms affecting the real estate market: the exemption of income tax for property owners who rent out residential spaces and for individuals selling real estate. These modifications aim to encourage investment in rentals and potentially make housing more accessible.
As the bill moves through the Argentine Congress, it has garnered significant attention, particularly from stakeholders in the real estate sector. The bill's progress was bolstered by Patricia Bullrich, who secured a majority opinion within the Labor Committee, promoting the initiative to a broader legislative discussion. The anticipation surrounding these reforms highlights the ongoing discussions about economic strategies in Argentina and the complexities that arise when addressing taxation in the housing sector.
The implications of these changes could lead to a realignment in the rental market, influencing how investors approach real estate and affecting housing availability for potential tenants. Should the tax exemption be approved, individuals might lean more towards rental investments over fixed-term deposits, altering the dynamics of personal finance and real estate investment in Argentina.
