Short answer
Closing costs in Argentina are not a single national number. They can include escribano work, stamp tax, registry costs, certificates, brokerage commissions, and taxes allocated by the contract and local practice.
Do not use generic percentages blindly
Costs vary by jurisdiction, property type, declared value, seller status, and transaction structure. Before signing, ask for a closing statement from the escribano and tax adviser.
Rental income
Rental owners should confirm ARCA registration, invoicing, income tax treatment, RELI contract registration, and city-level rules for tourist rentals when applicable.
