In a significant policy shift, the Customs and Revenue Agency (ARCA) has repealed the update to the Economic Activity Classifier (CLAE), initially introduced under General Resolution 5607/2024. This change was formalized with the publication of General Resolution 5612/2024 in the Official Gazette on December 10.
The new resolution halts the incorporation of digital and emerging economic activities into the CLAE. The decision stems from the need for further analysis to accurately reflect new business models in today’s economic and financial context.
As a result, all new CLAE codes created under the now-revoked resolution are no longer valid, including:
Door-to-door delivery services managed via digital platforms.
Development, design, and maintenance of digital platforms.
Cryptoasset-related activities, including:
Cryptographic validation of transactions linked to and not linked to cryptoassets.
Mining power rental for cryptoassets and other uses.
Custody of cryptoassets.
Brokerage of goods and services through e-commerce platforms.
Non-financial credit services via digital platforms.
Trading and exchange of cryptoassets.
Management of cryptoasset transfers, sales, investments, and exchanges.
Payment and collection processing through digital platforms.
Creation and advertising of audiovisual content for social media and digital platforms.
As of today, businesses that registered under these codes must revert to unclassified activity categories (NCP) in compliance with the updated guidelines.
