Dissolution
editOn 21 October 2024, Javier Milei's government announced the dissolution of the AFIP, without transmitting its powers, and the creation of a new body, the "Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero" (abbrevriated ARCA; Spanish for "Customs Collection and Control Agency"). However, the independence and autarky of this new entity are still unknown. The dissolution was officialised by Decree n° 953/24, publised on Official Bulletin three days after it was announced.[1]
It was announced that Florencia Misrahi, who was in charge of AFIP, would continue leading ARCA.[7]
