Argentina taxes residents on worldwide income at progressive personal rates up to 35 percent, layered with provincial gross-receipts taxes and an annual wealth (personal assets) tax, so the headline burden for a profitable solopreneur is high. Self-employed workers register either as autonomos or under the simplified Monotributo regime, both of which bundle mandatory pension and health contributions into a flat monthly payment. A digital nomad visa exists for remote workers earning income from abroad and living costs are well below the US, though chronic inflation and currency controls remain practical headaches.
