The Federal Public Revenue Administration incorporated the optional use of the tool called “AFIP Electronic Wallet” for the payment of taxes and tax debts.
This is established by the General Resolution 4335/2018 published in the Official Gazette, which will come into force on Friday (16.11.2018).
The preamble to the regulation states that the purpose is to facilitate the taxpayer's ability to make payments to settle certain tax obligations and social security resources.
On the other hand, it incorporates International Bank Transfer (IBT). This new form of payment requires taking into account the following guidelines:
1. The transfer order must be drawn up taking into account the data indicated below:
1.1. Transfer amount in foreign currency.
1.2. Type of currency.
1.3. Country of origin of the transfer.
1.4. Identification of the payer in his/her foreign bank (the taxpayer or a third party – Field 50 of the SWIFT message).
1.5. Entity receiving the funds (AFIP collecting bank).
1.6. SWIFT code of the entity receiving the funds.
1.7. Bank account number.
1.8. Name of the bank account.
1.9. Unique Tax Identification Code (CUIT) of the taxpayer (field 70 of the SWIFT message).
1.10. Indicate “Wallet” as the destination of the funds (field 70 of the SWIFT message) following the Unique Tax Identification Code (CUIT).
1.11. Correspondent/intermediary entity (non-mandatory information).
1.12. SWIFT code of the correspondent/intermediary entity (if applicable).
The information and list of authorized collecting entities can be consulted on the microsite called “Payment by International Bank Transfer” on the AFIP website (http://www.afip.gob.ar).
