Argentine tax-exclusive price calculator

Q: What's the formula?

If all applicable rates use the same net base: price excluding taxes = final price ÷ (1 + combined rate). For 21% VAT alone, divide by 1.21; for 10.5% VAT alone, divide by 1.105. Other tax treatments need separate validation.

Q: Does it include provincial taxes?

No. Gross receipts tax (Ingresos Brutos) and municipal fees are not national taxes and are not deducted in this calculation.

For a price that includes only 21% Argentine VAT, divide the final price by 1.21: ARS 12,100 becomes ARS 10,000 before VAT. Do not multiply by 0.79. Adding tax rates is valid only when they apply to the same net base; confirm the treatment of other taxes with your accountant.

Why you divide instead of subtracting a percentage

VAT is calculated on the net price. If the net is ARS 10,000, 21% VAT is ARS 2,100 and the final price is ARS 12,100. Subtracting 21% from the final price gives ARS 9,559, understating the net amount and overstating the tax.

What the rules require

Law 27,743 created the Consumer Tax Transparency Regime in 2024, which aims to let buyers know what part of the price corresponds to national taxes. Check with your accountant how it applies to your business and your invoices.
