Argentina imposes withholding tax on B2C broadcast services
- Sep 30, 2014 | Richard Asquith
The taxing municipality of Buenos Aires has extended its gross receipts tax to include a range of online broadcast services.
The tax is charged at 3% of fees, and is administered by credit and debit card companies, and is separate from Argentinian VAT.
The broadcast service included within the new measures include:
- Charges for streaming films and TV shows
- Charges for downloads of films
- Online subscriptions for games
The move follows similar proposals this week from China for a tax on e-commerce.
