IMPESTS Decree 6/2009 Observe and Promute Law No. 26.467.Bs. As., 7/1/2009
VISTO Issue No. S01:0534596/2008 of the Register of the MINISTERY OF ECONOMY AND PUBLIC FINANCIALS and the Bill of Law registered under No. 26,467 sanctioned by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION on 17 December 2008 and
CONSIDERING:
That the Bill registered under No. 26,467 sanctioned by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION on 17 December 2008 amended the Internal Revenue Act and its amendments and Act No. 19,800 and its amendments.
That Article 15 of the Internal Revenue Act, a text replaced by Act No. 24,674 and its amendments, provides that cigarettes, both domestic and imported, shall tax on the price of sale to the consumer, including taxes, except the value added tax, a tax on the SESENTA by SENTO (60%).
That Article 16 of the above-mentioned legal norm provides that by the exemption of cigars, cigars, rabilles, trumpets and other tobacco manufactures not expressly provided for in Chapter I of Title II of the Law, the rate of DIECISEIS shall be paid by ACCOUNT (16 per cent) on the corresponding tax base.
That by Article 3 of the Bill quoted in the Hittite is incorporated without number, following Article 16 of the Internal Revenue Act, text replaced by Law No. 24,674 and its modifications, an article defining what is meant by cigarettes, cigars with wrap, cigars without wrapping, cigars with wrapping and cigars without wrapping, to the effects of the 15 grava.
That the definitions contemplated in the sanctioned project differ substantially from those conceived in the Project elevated to the HONORABLE CONGRESS of the NATION through Message No. 2015 dated 25 November 2008, whose purpose was to specify the characteristics that should be evidenced by the constitution of the products indicated in the consideration precedent in response to the different tax treatment that fits the cigars and cigars with respect to cigarettes.
That it should be sadly assumed that the measure propitiated through the aforementioned Message and Draft Law aimed exclusively to avoid that products reached at the SESENTA rate per SENTO (60%) are intended to be unduly protected at the tax level established by Article 16 of the Internal Tax Law, a text replaced by Law No. 24,674 and its amendments that are reduced to DIECISEIS.
That the above should be added to the inconveniences of an interpretative nature that derive from the sanctioned text since both for cigars and for cigars with wrapping it provides that these are products composed of a wrap that is different from the natural tobacco leaf, without reconstituting, when this last quality requires in an inconstable way that is a layer of natural tobacco leaf.
That under the above, it is necessary to observe Article 3 and the ordinal number "...3o,..." in the first paragraph of Article 7 of the Draft Law sanctioned.
That the proposed measure does not alter the spirit or unity of the Draft Law sanctioned by the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION.
That the Directorate-General for Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Economic and Social Affairs PUBLICAS has taken the intervention that belongs to him.
That the present decree is issued in the use of the powers conferred on the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER by Article 80 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.
Therefore,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION IN GENERAL AGREEMENT OF MINISTERS
RIGHT:
Article 1 Note Article 3 of the Bill registered under No. 26.467. Art. 2o Note in the first paragraph of Article 7 of the Draft Law registered under No. 26,467 the ordinal number: "...3o,...". Art. 3o With the exceptions set out in the preceding articles, please amend, and refer to the National Law Bill registered under No. 26.467. Art. 4o Note the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF NATION. Art. 5o Contact, post, give to the National Directorate of the Official Register and archvese. . KIRCHNER FERNANDEZ. . Sergio T. Massa. Aníbal F. Randazzo. . Jorge E. Taiana. . Carlos R. Fernández. .
