IMPESTS Decree No. 1157/92 Amendment of the Nros Decrees. 1076/92, 2407/86 and Article 6 of the Law on Taxation of Value Added, text replaced by Law No. 23.349 and its amendments.

Bs. As., 10/7/92

VISTO AND CONSIDERING:

That Decree No. 1076 of 30 June 1992, in its articles 4 and 5, eliminated certain exemptions for the subjects covered by Title VI of the Vocabulary Tax Act, which was ordained in 1986 and its modifications, with effect for the gains obtained in the course of the periods closing from the date of publication in the Official Gazette and subsequent periods.

That the tax-exemptive treatment that enjoyed the incomes from the type of operations in question could be a significant factor in setting the conditions of the same or in guiding the investment, a situation that is intended to be corrected by the dictation of the aforementioned rule.

That therefore, in order not to alter the existing economic framework at the time of such operations and that the new treatment may be considered in future decision-making, it is appropriate to modify the entry into force of the rule in question.

On the other hand, attentive that the services provided by the management companies of the common investment funds are similar to those performed by the brokers and open market agents, it is advisable to give them an identical treatment against the added value tax.

Moreover, taking into account the latest amendments to the value-added tax on the elimination of exemptions, as well as the imminent privatization of certain services currently provided by the State, some corrections to the current regime are necessary immediately in order to avoid distortions that affect market competition levels.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER, in addition to the powers conferred on it by article 86 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, may exercise legislative powers when the need is made present and the urgency justifies it, with the support of the best constitutional doctrine and the jurisprudence of the SUPREMA COURT of JUSTICE.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
