Three professionals tell us how they would benefit from the government-promoted measure

This measure will allow many people living in the country to receive their salaries without losing purchasing power, that is, if they bill their services in dollars or any other currency, they will be able to maintain their salaries in that currency.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of professionals will benefit from this initiative promoted by the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massathrough the Knowledge Economy Secretariat headed by Ariel Sugarchuk.

The best is to earn like any other salary and have contributions And social work and being empty in the system like all legitimate business.

“You end up paying a lot of commissions in the middle to be able to use the money, which, in the end, would be the same as paying a monotributo or the corresponding taxes. Instead of that money going to the state and real dollars coming into the country, it ends up going to a middleman.

“Monotributo-Tech can benefit me in multiple ways, but I think the most important thing is to allow me to enter the tax system, to be able to contribute, to have access to credits and the various benefits that are involved in being empty-handed. In short, benefiting from the work one does so hard without That hurts the loss of purchasing power.”
