What the registry requires
| Company type | Sociedad por Acciones Simplificada (S.A.S.), Ley 27.349; S.R.L. as the classic alternative |
|---|---|
| Registry | Inspección General de Justicia (IGJ) for the City of Buenos Aires (provincial registries elsewhere); CUIT from ARCA |
| Government filing fee | Varies — IGJ charges in módulos (module value ARS 1,500 since 8 April 2024); the S.A.S. module count is not shown on the pages retrieved. For comparison an S.R.L. constitution is 24 modules (ARS 36,000) standard or 96 modules urgent. |
| Registration time | IGJ's 2024 relaunch promises registration of a S.A.S. within 72 hours through TAD; Ley 27.349 art. 38 sets 24 hours when the model statute is used. An S.R.L. urgent filing takes 5 business days. |
| Resident director | Ley 27.349 art. 51: at least one administrator must have real domicile in Argentina; foreign members need a CDI and designate a local representative. |
| Visit, notary or lawyer | The S.A.S. is filed 100% online through Trámites a Distancia with clave fiscal; partners are entered by CUIT/CUIL/CDI. A foreign partner without CUIT obtains a CDI by filing Form 663 at an ARCA office (passport), which takes up to 30 business days for non-residents. |
| Registered address | For IGJ registration the sede social must be in the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires; other jurisdictions use their own registry. |
| Minimum capital | 2x minimum wage |
| Corporate tax | Corporate income tax is progressive: 25% up to ARS 133,514,185.74, 30% to ARS 1,335,141,857.38 and 35% above (2026 scale, brackets indexed yearly). |
| Every year | IGJ publishes an annual fee (tasa anual, 2025 due 15 December) without stating which entity types pay it; the 2024 resolutions removed the S.A.S. obligation to file balance sheets with IGJ. |

How to register a company in Argentina, step by step

- Set capital of at least two minimum wages and the share allocation.
- Start the filing in Trámites a Distancia with clave fiscal, entering partners by CUIT/CUIL/CDI and beneficial owners over 10%.
- Upload the model statute, pay the IGJ fee in módulos and sign digitally.
- Receive the CUIT, gazette publication and IGJ certificate, then register books and tax obligations.

Common mistakes
- Starting the TAD filing before foreign partners have a CDI, which stalls the process for weeks.
- Appointing only non-resident administrators, contrary to Ley 27.349 art. 51.
- Setting capital below two minimum wages or a sede outside Buenos Aires for an IGJ filing.
