Argentina has no double-tax treaty in force with the United States or Ireland. What the tax authority's list shows, what is missing without a treaty, and what to ask an accountant.
Argentina has no double-tax treaty in force with the United States or with Ireland, according to the list kept by the tax authority, ARCA. So if Argentina treats you as a tax resident, no treaty between it and either country settles which of them taxes what.
ARCA lists 24 treaties to avoid double taxation that are in force.
| Country | Double-tax treaty in force |
|---|---|
| United States | No |
| Ireland | No |
| United Kingdom | Yes |
| Canada | Yes |
| Australia | Yes |
| Luxembourg | Signed, not in force |
The United States appears on the list only once, under international transport: Transporte internacional: "Acuerdo por canje de notas". That is not a double-tax treaty. Ireland does not appear at all.
The full list of countries with a treaty in force: Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, UAE, Spain, Finland, France, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Netherlands, Qatar, United Kingdom, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey.
ARCA files these treaties under agreements to avoid double taxation. Their purpose is in the name: to avoid the same income being taxed twice.
Each treaty is a separate agreement with its own terms. If your country has one, an accountant can tell you what it says about your kind of income.
Without a treaty, each country applies only its own law.
One guide sums up the Argentine side: Argentina taxes its tax residents on worldwide income, subject to treaties. For people from the United States or Ireland, there is no treaty to apply.
Whether you can set tax paid in one country against tax due in the other then depends on each country's own rules. Our research did not cover those rules. We cannot tell you how they would work for you.
This matters only if Argentina treats you as a tax resident. When that happens is itself a question for an accountant. Read When Argentina may start taxing you.
Check the list above. It includes the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain, France and Italy, among others.
Luxembourg has signed a treaty, but it is not in force.
If your country has a treaty, ask your accountant to go through each kind of income you have, such as a salary, a pension, rent or savings, against what the treaty says.
If your country is not on the list, the same questions apply to you as to Americans and Irish citizens.
