So now that I�m a certified Argentine taxpayer (just made the 1st monotributo payment today), I demand to know what I�m entitled to from the government.

Just kidding. Though now that I have this CUIT I�m wondering what I can do with it: can I open a bank account? Can I get a guarantia? Or is there really nothing - aside from cashing invoices - that it allows you to do? Anyone who has a CUIT and can shed some light on this would be most appreciated...and I�ve little doubt many other people who are teaching (legally) are interested in this topic as well.

Thanks.

how/why did you get it? For a particular reason? Can you leagally work in Argentina now?

Just wondering.

The institute I�m working for says it�s the only way they�ll pay me...it seems like a legit place and I think they pay towards the higher end (15-19 pesos an hour) so I figured I�d give it a shot. To my very great surprise, the whole, quasi-convoluted process turned out to be a breeze - I�ve had more bureaucratic run around in the states just trying to change a cell phone number. I think it offers more than just being able to cash checks (invoices) though...so I�m trying to figure out what that is.
