Leaving France for Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 as a founder
25–35% corporate tax · 7% on dividends. You can now buy an Argentinian passport. The tax rates aren't on sale.
What you'd keep vs France
Solo founder, 100% owner, whole profit paid out as dividends each year. How the math works.
| PROFIT | TAX IN 🇫🇷 | TAX IN 🇦🇷 | KEEP IN 🇦🇷 | VS FRANCE / YR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| €100K | 41.2% | 31.3% | €68,729 | +€9,972 |
| €250K | 47.4% | 33.4% | €166,379 | +€34,839 |
| €500K | 53.4% | 34.2% | €329,129 | +€96,270 |
| €1M | 53.7% | 35.6% | €644,420 | +€181,310 |

THE CATCH
Buying citizenship doesn't lower your tax: companies pay up to 35%. And a court annulled the decree behind the program in June 2026 — the government is appealing. The cheap route is a rentista residence (≈ €60 fee).
SOURCES
Simplified simulation, not tax advice. You own 100%, so France's exit tax on your shares applies. Outside the EU you usually have to request the deferral and give guarantees. It's wiped if you keep your shares 2 years after leaving (5 if they're worth over €2.57M). Moving tax residency means actually living there, not just a mailbox.
