The Senate turned Inocencia Fiscal II into law with 44 votes in favor
The initiative promoted by the government was approved unchanged in the upper chamber. It had the backing of La Libertad Avanza, the PRO and the UCR, while Unión por la Patria voted against it.
The Senate approved the so-called Inocencia Fiscal II law this Thursday, and the initiative became law after receiving 44 affirmative votes and 23 negative votes, with no abstentions. The bill already had half approval from the Chamber of Deputies.
The measure, promoted by Javier Milei’s government, expands the simplified Income Tax regime and changes the conditions under which the Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero, ARCA, can challenge taxpayers’ filings. It also aims to reduce the information that individuals must submit and to limit the agency’s audit powers.
The La Libertad Avanza governing coalition backed the proposal together with the PRO and the UCR. By contrast, Unión por la Patria voted against it. The provincial blocs, according to the media cited, did not maintain a unified position.
According to Perfil, in Chaco’s delegation the vote was split: Silvana Schneider and Juan Cruz Godoy voted in favor, while Jorge Capitanich voted against. That outlet also noted that the initiative was approved without changes.
Perfil detailed that during the debate Schneider defended the reform, arguing that it seeks to simplify the system and provide greater legal certainty, while Capitanich questioned the limits on tax controls and warned about a possible impact on provincial revenues.
