Buenos Aires: 50% of purchases from suppliers based in the province

Created a provincial incentive regime for large investments and set a floor for purchases from suppliers based in the province. Article 13 of the law, verbatim: «Companies benefiting from this Regime whose investment exceeds fifty million US dollars (USD 50,000,000) must submit a supplier development program providing that, incrementally and in accordance with the schedule set by the Implementing Authority, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total amount allocated to supplier payments be directed to hiring and purchasing goods, services and/or works from companies based in the province of Buenos Aires». That is two and a half times the 20% required by the national RIGI, and the law writes in the escape hatch: whoever falls short «must duly justify… that the qualities or quantities required for the project cannot be supplied by existing suppliers». Article 11, subsection 18, requires the supplier development plan to be filed within the application itself. verif · Nov 27, 2024 ↗

The law has been in force since 27 November 2024 and its implementing decree since 3 November 2025. For a supplier, the second date is the one that matters: until the decree came out, the 50% floor existed with no schedule and no registry to sign up with; today it has both, and registration is open online. verif · Nov 3, 2025 ↗

The company applying to the provincial regime with an investment above USD 50,000,000, which becomes obliged to submit and comply with the supplier development program; and the Buenos Aires SME that wants to be on the other side of that floor, for which it must register with the Buenos Aires Supplier Development Registry. Registration is online and free, is aimed at SMEs based in the province, and a productive address in Buenos Aires is the underlying condition. Mandatory paperwork: proof of ARCA registration, proof of Turnover Tax or Multilateral Agreement registration, and a sworn statement of the address where the productive activity takes place —plus, if under the Multilateral Agreement, the annual sworn returns for the last two fiscal years—. Also requested, where applicable: legal power of attorney for the representative and municipal or sector permits; quality certifications (ISO, IRAM) are listed without the mandatory marking. Once the filing is approved, they assign a registration number and send the certificate by email. verif · Sep 6, 2026 ↗
