Thanks for this warning ... I got twice ARS from ATMs at EZE..once from that ATM in that glass box, and once from an ATM from a British Bank.
Question: I have read, that I don't have to pay the 20%+ tax, when I pay the hotel bill with cash. True? If yes, where else can I save the tax?
I have gotten the tax back (at EZE) for purchases ... cash when paid with cash, credit when paid with Credit Card.
Thanks
