Argentina’s Bold Cryptocurrency Proposal: The Milei Bill

Published by

South America’s second-largest economy, Argentina, is experiencing significant changes under its newly elected president, Javier Milei. Milei has introduced a daring new proposal concerning cryptocurrency holdings. The focus of this proposal is to require citizens to declare all their cryptocurrency assets, both domestically and abroad.

The bill has sparked controversy, mainly due to its innovative approach to ensuring compliance. It offers a preferential tax rate for those who declare their crypto assets, both domestic and foreign, before the 31st March 2024 deadline. However, this rate is set to increase substantially, reaching 15% after November 30.

Milei’s Unconventional Economic Approach

Milei is known for his dynamic and unorthodox economic strategies. This cryptocurrency draft bill fits into his broader economic and political reform agenda. One key feature of the bill is the asset regularization program, which aims to bring various assets, including cryptocurrencies and crypto assets, into the formal economy. This program offers reduced penalties for those who disclose their assets early. For instance, citizens who comply before the March 31 deadline will face only a 5% tax rate, increasing to 15% by the end of November.

Universal Application for Crypto and Digital Assets

The bill’s provisions apply universally to “cryptocurrencies, crypto assets, and other similar goods,” irrespective of the issuer, owner, or where they are stored. This is part of an effort to legitimize the use of digital assets within Argentina, promoting their regularization and integration into the formal economy.
