Upload your invoice files from ARCA's "Mis Comprobantes" (issued and received), add your previous credit balance and withholdings, and see instantly where your monthly Argentine VAT (IVA) stands.
Monthly position = Total output VAT − Total input VAT − Previous credit balance − Withholdings/perceptions.
Credit notes follow the VAT Law (arts. 11 and 12): a credit note received from a supplier (purchases) is output VAT for you; a credit note you issued to a customer (sales) is input VAT for you.
Invoices in foreign currency are converted to pesos using the exchange rate on each row of the ARCA report.
It is designed for Registered Taxpayers (Responsables Inscriptos) in Argentina who want to know, at any time during the month, where their VAT position stands without waiting for month-end. Take the Mis Comprobantes files you download from the ARCA portal (issued and received), add the credit balance carried from the previous month and any withholdings, and the calculator shows whether you will have VAT to pay or a credit balance.
No. It is a guidance estimate to monitor your position during the month. Your accountant prepares the final return based on the complete VAT ledger, adjustments, apportionments and other details this calculator does not cover.
No. Files are read and processed entirely in your browser (with JavaScript); they are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Under the VAT Law they are not netted on their own side: a credit note you received from a supplier is added as output VAT, and one you issued to a customer is added as input VAT. This is the same approach used in the VAT return.
The calculator detects each file's type automatically and will not process it in the wrong box — it lets you know so you can upload it in the right place.
Not necessarily. ARCA does not list some VAT items — for example import clearances, bank statements and some "tique factura A" receipts from older fiscal printers. If you have such items, add them manually to the result.
