Bs. As., 3/6/92
VISTO the Law on Attached Value Tax, a text replaced by Law No. 23,349 and its amendments, and the Law on Gain Tax, a text ordered in 1986 and its amendments, and
CONSIDERING:
That in order to achieve greater efficiency in the structure of the value-added tax regime, proving to avoid interference that disrupts the neutrality of the tax on the economic circuit, it is necessary to eliminate some exemptions, incorporating to the scope of application of the tax certain activities that, due to their significant impact on the determination of the costs, provoke, with their current exempt treatment, undesired distortions in the determination of relative prices and prices.
Moreover, the situation raised particularly affects the benefits involved in the privatization process provided for in Act No. 23,696, creating insecurities in determining the basis for which the negotiations should take place.
That the reforms introduced require the modification of other provisions of the same legal rule in order to adapt them to the new treatment established.
That in another order of things, it was considered appropriate to contemplate what was suggested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs And CULTO, in terms of granting foreign diplomatic missions and agents, a benefit similar to that afforded to our representatives abroad, always on the condition of reciprocity and in order to be able to correspond to the privileged treatment already provided to our Embassies in some countries.
Given the crisis in the social security system, it is essential to take the necessary measures to achieve the full sanitation of the forecast system in the short term.
In this regard, the increase in the tax resources allocated to the system has been made available, for these purposes the proportion of the tax on the profits that is estimated to be obtained as a result of the non-computer of the accumulated bankruptcies that affect the liquidation of the tax, since they originate in the assumption of debt by the Nation, the current levels of co-participation are not affected.
That the above-mentioned situation calls as urgent the situation described, inexcusably requiring the immediate adoption of fund solutions to prevent the damages that would result in a delay in its implementation.
That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER, in addition to the powers conferred upon it by article 86 of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, may exercise legislative powers when the need is made present and the emergency justifies it, with the support of the best constitutional doctrine and the jurisprudence of the SUPREMA COURT OF NATION JUSTICE.
That the present is dictated in the context of the described emergency situation and supported by the above-mentioned doctrine of the rules of necessity and urgency, the legitimacy and validity of which is also recognized on the basis of a manifest intention to subject it to legislative ratification.
Therefore,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
