Decree 69/91

Regulation of Law No. 23.884.

Bs. As; 10/1/91

VISTO Law No. 23.884,

CONSIDERING:

That this rule provides that donations made to National Universities and/or foundations whose specific purpose is to develop, promote, organize and/or stimulate academic activities may be used as payment on various taxes and import duties.

That in this way a system of financing of the Universities is instituted to raise the quality of teaching, research, technical and science of such houses of high studies.

It becomes necessary to issue appropriate regulations that allow, within the framework of the law, to preserve the fairness and justice of the tax system so that there are no deviations of any nature that devise the altruistic principles that the legislator took into account when sanctioning it.

Action is taken to use the emerging powers of article 86, paragraph 2, of the National Constitution.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
