The Buenos Aires Revenue Agency (ARBA) has announced a new deadline for citizens to pay their urban property tax, extending the initial due dates which were set for the 12th and 13th of the month. The new payment deadline is now set for February 26. This extension aims to provide taxpayers with more time to meet their tax obligations and to encourage them to take advantage of various discounts for timely payments.

The ARBA explained that by allowing this extension, they are hoping to facilitate compliance among property owners, especially during a time when many are managing finances carefully. Additionally, they note that taxpayers who pay the full annual amount before the new due date will be able to receive a 15% discount, provided they have no outstanding debts. This initiative could increase overall tax compliance and revenue collection for the provincial government.

This decision comes as part of broader efforts by ARBA to improve tax collection and support taxpayers through flexible payment arrangements. The real estate tax is a significant revenue source for the province of Buenos Aires, thus ensuring timely collection and compliance is essential for funding public services and development programs in the region.
