- Argentina’s Economy Ministry set a maximum annual cap of ARS 27.2 billion for VAT credit refunds available to public utility companies whose tariffs are reduced by government subsidies.
- The cap was established under Resolution 1759/2026 and applies to refundable accumulated VAT balances generated from 2025, plus earlier balances still eligible and not previously covered by annual limits.
- Eligible credits must arise from purchases, manufacturing, processing, or imports (excluding automobiles) and from services or works used effectively in the subsidized activity.
- The refund is limited to the amount of VAT credit exceeding what would have been calculated if the subsidy amounts themselves had been subject to the applicable VAT rate.
- Allocation of the 2026 cap: ARS 24.5 billion for energy, ARS 2.5 billion for transport, and ARS 200 million for other sectors; claims must follow the former AFIP procedure.
