Olavarría municipal tax disputes

The Municipality of Olavarría is engaged in legal and administrative conflicts with local businesses regarding various municipal taxes.

In one instance, the municipality rejected a defense from Molino Olavarría S. A. concerning discrepancies in the Hygiene and Security Inspection Tax (TISH). Following an inspection, authorities ordered the company to rectify sworn statements for the period between February 2024 and September 2025, asserting that the company must use 100% of income attributable to the district as the tax base. The company had previously contested the tax, questioning its constitutionality and proportionality.

Separately, a local telecommunications company has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court to declare a municipal tax unconstitutional. The company is challenging a claim for 135,285,000 pesos related to the use of public space for infrastructure. The firm argues that the assessment violates national laws, specifically citing exemptions for the use of public domain for telecommunications services under National Law 19,798 and Law 27,078.
