In terms of other taxation, an employer will contribute 27% to the equivalent of a social security fund and an employee will contribute 17%. The overall complexity of the tax system is medium. This is measured by average time to comply with a country's labor tax requirements is as it is 84hours. Contributing to this is the number of yearly labor tax payments, which is 3 in AR.

Thin capitalization mandates are in effect. Thin capitalisation refers to any type of laws on companies' debt-to-asset ratios. Dividends received from a resident entity are not taxable. Foreign-source dividends are subject to Corporate Income Tax, but a credit for foreign tax paid may be available. A dividend is a distribution of a portion of a company profit, determined by the board of directors, to a particular class of shareholders. Dividends can be either stock, cash, or property. Capital Gains are usually treated as business ordinary income and therefore subject to corporate tax at a 35% rate. A capital gains tax is levied on the profits that a corporation or natural person realizes when he or she sells sells a capital asset for a price that is higher than the purchase price.

Dividends are not usually subject to withholding tax. This means that payments on dividends made to non-residents are not usually subject to taxation. The interest withholding tax is estimated at 35%. This should be interpreted usually that the tax authorities expects relevant legal entities to automatically withhold 35% of interest payments to non-residents. For certain interests such as those paid to a financial institutions among others are subject to a reduced rate of 15.05%. Payments on royalties to non-residents are subject to a 35% withholding tax on 90% of the gross payment, resulting an effective tax rate of 31.5%. Certain payments on patents and copyrights are subject to wht effective rates of 12.25% and 28%, respectively. Withholding tax rates may be reduced under a tax treaty.
