ANSeS credits, buy without VAT, prepaid: key points that Milei must decide as soon as he assumes the Presidency

As soon as Javier Milei takes office, he must decide whether to extend the $55,000 bonus to January and February that retirees and pensioners will receive minimum salaries in December. But also, There is another set of measures that are ongoing or expire in December that require an immediate resolution from the new Government.

In December, quota freeze expires of private medicine for people or family groups who have lower incomes at $2 million monthly. If those quotas that were suspended are not extended, they should be updated by the Health Cost Index or 90% of the RIPTE for October, November and December, which could lead to an adjustment of more than 35% for the 300,000 holders or more including the family group that obtained that benefit.

The payment of tax component of The Monotax fee is also suspendedwith the commitment made by Sergio Massa to forgive that debt during 2024. The new Government must decide whether or not this debt is maintained and whether it will set new deadlines to cancel it, with or without surcharges.

The pension agency is granting appointments to retirees and workers to receive those loans at a subsidized rate that are already extended to December. ¿Will those credits be maintained? Will appointments granted be respected beyond December 10?

The VAT refund on debit card purchases for a broad sector of retirees, pensioners, workers and informal workers with the limit of $18,800 expires in December. In Congress, The bill to extend it next year has half the approval of Deputies. Javier Milei, will you extend the VAT refund by decree? Will the Senate approve it before December 10, with Milei’s approval?

The Minimum Wage Council should meet in December to set the new values ​​for the first months of 2024. Will it be convened by the Ministry of Labor or the Ministry that absorbs it?

In September, the Minimum Wage Council set the increases in the minimum, vital and mobile wage (SMVM) for the months of October ($132,000), November ($146,000) and December ($156,000).

In addition to salary, The Minimum Wage became a key reference in the economy. To such an extent that a dozen economic and social variables depend on this minimum, increasing the decisions and factors that the Minimum, Living and Mobile Wage Council must take into account.

For example, the minimum wage impacts the “Empower Work” programs (more than one million people) that charge half the minimum wage. The Earnings salary floor was set at October 15 SMVM ($1,980,000). Will this link between the SMVM and the Profits salary floor be maintained? In addition, for the first half of 2024, this salary floor is adjusted by the value it reaches in January. Consequently, if the SMVM is not adjusted in January, the Earnings salary floor will continue at $1,980,000 until July and due to inflation itself, employees in a dependency relationship who were exempt from Earnings will become included in the tax.
