Within the framework of the periodic processes established by General Resolution 3,832 of the year 2016, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) limited the CUIT of 8,884 Simplified Stock Companies (SAS), when detecting irregularities related to their tax behavior. This is 16.5% of the total universe of this type of company, which is currently 53,745 companies.
Among the inconsistencies detected, It was observed that 5,093 companies have not submitted determinative affidavits since January 2022, while another 994 that did submit their Value Added Tax (VAT) and Earnings submissions. do not record in them transactions related to purchases, sales, income or expenses, while neither did they report workers on their payrolls. Another 2,797 companies that do not register tax registration were also recorded.
In March 2020, senators from the Frente de Todos, They presented a bill to suspend the registration of the SAS for 180 days. Among its foundations, the legislators argue that, under this figure, corporate law is entered into an irregular legal vehicle with zero state control. The senators also mention “there are true entrepreneurs for whom this type of company can facilitate their business activity but with the necessary state controls.”
The Government proposes a drastic change for the SAS
The Simplified Stock Companies (SAS) regime, created during the government of Mauricio Macri and which allows opening a firm in 24 hours, received questions from the ruling party from its very creation.
However, and since it was launched in April 2017, entrepreneurs highlight that since this regime was established, more than 40,000 SAS have been created and highlight that although in some cases the promised 24 hours for creation are not met The process takes a few days.
But both from the national government and from Congress they question this regime. Due to the fact that a proposal presented in the Senate by the pro-government Oscar Parrilli to suspend them for 180 days lost parliamentary status, the Frente de Todos has now presented in the Chamber of Deputies a project to make the “opacity” of the legal framework transparent that exists for the sector.
To prevent money laundering, the ruling party presented a project to modify the SAS regime.
The project seeks to improve corporate control and prevent them from being used for money laundering activities from drug trafficking and relate it to the seriousness of the situation Rosario is going through.
This is an initiative of the president of the block of deputies of the FDT, German Martinez, the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Cecilia Moreau and the bloc’s parliamentary secretary, Paula Pennaca.
“We propose to strengthen the regulatory framework of Simplified Joint Stock Companies, granting them the hierarchy that arises from state control, propping up the legal security of partners, contracting parties and taxpayers and also fighting the corrupt use of legal figures that end up channeling unwanted illicit purposes. “, supports the initiative of the deputies in the fundamentals.
