Argentina’s macro volatility makes equity planning a cash-flow discipline: large USD vest inflows may face conversion rules, progressive tax, and liquidity for local payments.

The bottom line: Treat AFIP reporting as year-specific—rules shift with reforms.
Critical Warning: Inflation adjustments and special regimes may apply to certain assets—this guide does not replace local counsel.
