👉 El gobierno argentino ha anunciado una reducción del impuesto automotriz, que afectará principalmente a los autos de media y alta gama. Esta medida, anunciada por el ministro de Economía, Toto Caputo, podría beneficiar a unas 35,000 unidades durante el 2025. Sin embargo, la reducción no está dirigida a los autos económicos más demandados por las familias de clase media. Además, se anuncia un arancel cero para 50,000 unidades de autos eléctricos e híbridos para el 2025. A pesar de esta reducción significativa en impuestos y aranceles, los expertos advierten que estos vehículos siguen siendo costosos y fuera del alcance promedio de los compradores argentinos.

00:00Because, of course, the taxes have gone down,
00:03precisely one of the automotive taxes.
00:06We talk about the fact that in Argentina more than 50% of what we pay
00:10when we buy a zero-kilometer car corresponds to taxes.
00:14This time, a tax value is being reduced,
00:19but for mid-range and high-range cars.
00:24More or less, how many units or how much of the market
00:28will be affected by this? Hugo Vázquez, good morning.
00:31Good morning, Lu, how are you?
00:32How are you?
00:34Approximately 35,000 units during 2025.
00:39In principle, the announcement of the Minister of Economy, Toto Caputo,
00:44that it is mainly aimed at mid- and high-end cars.
00:49It is not aimed at economic cars or at cars
00:52that are usually acquired by middle-class families,
00:58who are today buying, demanding the top ten
01:02of the most demanded cars in Argentina.
01:04They are in the order of 20 to 22 million pesos.
01:08Of course.
01:09And this reduction of taxes, which is significant,
01:14will reduce the luxury tax of these cars.
01:17It is the tax that was imposed on high-end and mid-range cars.
01:26This is going to be reduced, but it is going to lower the price
01:28between 15% and 20% of cars above 40 million pesos.
01:34In other words, taxes are lowered to those
01:36who perhaps have more purchasing power, actually.
01:39The truth is that they are not the most demanded,
01:42they are the most expensive cars.
01:44In other words, today they are lowering this tax,
01:49called at the time the luxury tax,
01:52but the cars that are above 42, 43 million pesos,
01:56between 42 and 75 million pesos.
01:59This is the strip that will have benefited from cars
02:04with this reduction of taxes, which will lower the price
02:06approximately by 15%.
02:08Of course, but with those cars.
02:09I want to ask you a question, yes, because it breaks the law and cheats.
02:12They told me that it really lowers taxes and so on,
02:15but dealerships could still raise the price a little
02:19and end up winning.
02:20The dealer, even if it makes them cheaper,
02:23the person who is going to buy it.
02:24Ah, look how good.
02:26This has already happened.
02:27The question or distrust of consumers
02:30in general has to do with the fact that it already happened at the time,
02:33when there was also a reduction of internal taxes.
02:36They saw that cars have a lot of internal taxes.
02:39Also, dealerships were benefited, or terminals,
02:42car manufacturers were benefited
02:44by a reduction in internal taxes,
02:46but at the same time they raise you in another concept
02:49and the value of the list is quite similar to the previous one.
02:54Well, this has already happened in Argentina.
02:55So, the distrust of the consumer is natural and it is logical.
02:59In this case, what the government proposes is that, well,
03:02it should be reduced to approximately 15%,
03:04since the tax is reduced to 20% for the list price.
03:09But, again, you have to finish looking at the list price
03:12within three or four weeks,
03:15in February or March, in dealerships.
03:18Until that moment, we will not be able to know
03:21if definitely the last value of the unit
03:24is lower than it is during the month of January.
03:26Now, Hugo, try to imagine.
03:28You, who know the cloth.
03:29What do you think can happen to the rest of the cars?
03:34That is, let's say that they actually go down
03:36and the scenario that Pipi says does not happen, right?
03:40Do you think that it can become a cascade effect,
03:43let's say a spill,
03:46so that this invites the price of the rest of the cars to go down,
03:51being that maybe someone is tempted to buy a more expensive car
03:55because it went down that tax and then makes the rest go down?
03:59Or is that a fantasy?
04:02No, again, the difference between the economic car,
04:05the standard car, the average,
04:07the one that the Argentine family demands on average,
04:09the most demanded, the top ten,
04:11and the most expensive cars,
04:13these that I tell you from 40 to 75 million...
04:17Yes, it is 9% of the automotive market, let's say, of zeros.
04:21It's 9%, it's less than one out of ten.
04:24Sure, so it's definitely good that taxes go down for all cars.
04:30It's good because more than half of the cars,
04:33of the price of a zero-kilometer car,
04:35is tax burden, is tax from the national, provincial state.
04:39That is, it is clear that cars have a lot of taxes,
04:42it is clear that cars are very expensive in Argentina,
04:45in pesos and in dollars.
04:47Argentina has one of the most expensive cars...
04:50Because they increased in dollars, they didn't just increase,
04:52well, like everything, there was inflation in dollars,
04:54but I mean, in dollars, it's shocking, right?
04:58The difference that there has been in the last two years.
05:00Lu, cars in dollars are very expensive in Argentina,
05:03compared to other neighboring countries,
05:06countries in the region, they are very expensive,
05:08in pesos and also in dollars.
05:10Cars also increased in dollars.
05:12Obviously, this tax reduction is positive,
05:17but it must be weighed, it must not be deluded,
05:21because it does not cover most of the automotive park.
05:25Back to the top ten, of the most demanded,
05:28the cars that are around 20, 22 million pesos,
05:32they will not have any modification.
05:34If they are going to have it, the mid- and high-end cars,
05:37and imported cars, attention,
05:39for those who were thinking of importing
05:41or buying a hybrid imported car, an electric imported car,
05:44I say it, I say it, of course, it's a joke,
05:46but for those who are looking for an imported car...
05:50Well, maybe some of those who are listening to us are lucky, why not?
05:54Why not? Why not?
05:56Those who are thinking about it, well, wait a few weeks,
05:59because they will also lower taxes for that range of cars.
06:03And that, importation, can it have an impact?
06:05I'm looking for you to say yes, but I don't think I can.
06:09No, because it is directed...
06:12There is a sensitive reduction in tariff taxes,
06:14this was announced by the Ministry of Economy,
06:16but again, directed specifically to electric and hybrid cars.
06:20There will be a quota for 2025 of 50,000 units,
06:25with zero tariff, definitely,
06:27these types of cars will be taxed, but again,
06:31it is not the large number of Argentines
06:33who demand imported hybrid or electric cars,
06:37which are obviously expensive,
06:38with zero tariff, they will reduce their value,
06:41but they are still very expensive and very far
06:43from what is the average purchase
06:45or the most demanded in Argentina, again.
06:48There is an important tax cut,
06:51which is the luxury tax,
06:53it is reduced to zero for mid-range cars
06:57and it goes down to half for high-end cars,
07:01for those that exceed 75 million pesos, again.
07:04They are not the most demanded in Argentina,
07:06they are not within the top ten of the most purchased
07:09or most demanded in Argentina.
07:10Okay, so, well, nothing, we'll have to wait
07:13and see what happens specifically with this,
07:16but for the bulk, there will be no difference.
07:19And the used market, how is it these days?
07:23Well, the used ones also had a value rush,
07:27the used ones increased a lot,
07:29because in Argentina something very different happens
07:34to what happens in the rest of the world.
07:35As soon as you get a zero kilometer
07:37and you put it on the street, in the rest of the world,
07:39it also happened during some times in Argentina,
07:42obviously the used one loses value
07:45as the years go by
07:47and the model is temporarily delayed,
07:51it loses value.
07:52But in Argentina something very particular happens,
07:56that the used ones maintain their value
07:57and the used cars are still expensive.
08:00The used car park maintains a value
08:03that is atypical in the rest of the world.
08:05In Europe, a used car, they don't give it to you, but...
08:08No, no, but if you compare, the difference is abysmal.
08:13Buying a used car in a country in Europe
08:15is really a bargain for a person
08:18who has a stable job and who earns moderately well.
08:22It is very accessible, really, it is very accessible
08:24with a couple of salaries from someone who works,
08:27works in a stable job, works in a dependency relationship,
08:29you can access an old car,
08:32a car from a few years ago,
08:34but it is possible to buy it.
08:38Yes, that it works well and that it is fine.
08:39And that it is fine.
08:39Well, in Argentina that is not happening.
08:41In Argentina, the used cars are still expensive.
08:46There is a very short distance, very small,
08:48between the zero-kilometer car and the used car.
08:51We have a car park that, well, obviously, I mean,
08:54gets old and it is necessary to change,
08:57to update, also for a matter of road safety.
09:00Well, however, this in Argentina has some complications
09:03because the used car, there is a particular issue
09:07that maintains its market value.
09:10It is true, it is true.
09:11But well, it is difficult to get to zero, it is difficult.
09:15Hugo, thank you very much.
09:17A hug, a kiss, have a good day.
