• If the natural person defined as the final beneficiary above is not identified, the president, managing partner, administrator, or highest authority of the reporting entity must be reported as the final beneficiary, without prejudice to the powers of the tax administration to investigate the causes that led to the breach of the obligation to identify the final beneficiary as above.
• In the cases in which the reporting subject sells their capital on publicly listed stock exchanges or official stock markets, they must only inform as final beneficiary the human persons holding at least 2% of the shares or holding shares valued at ARS 50 million on 31 December of the reporting year need to be reported as final beneficiaries.
•  Mutual funds are required to report final beneficiaries according to the preceding conditions, regardless of their shares being listed on a stock exchange.
