阿根廷政府已在19日正式宣佈,將對國際航班加徵30%稅收。H/T: Bloomberg

the government will once again tax purchases made in foreign currency including international flights, digital services like Netflix and purchases made abroad with credit cards. The tax, which may reach as high as 30%, is meant to help boost revenue and protect dwindling foreign reserves.

此舉引致大量旅客搶購國際機票,首當其衝的是前往美國的機票,尤其是前往邁阿密的機票。此外,本地居民在境外消費亦將再加徵30%稅收以限制美元外流。阿根廷居民在海外以信用卡或透過網站以美元消費,均須繳付額外30%稅款,包括購買機票、預訂酒店等。

這些舉措均屬於新法案的一部分,目的是為了緩解阿根廷的財政赤字。
