La UIF exime a los Fondos de Asistencia Laboral de los controles de prevención de lavado de activos y financiamiento del terrorismo

Por medio de la Resolución N° 109/2026, publicada en el Boletín Oficial y con entrada en vigencia el 18 de septiembre de 2026, la Unidad de Información Financiera (la “UIF”) dispuso modificar la Resolución UIF N° 78/2023 para adecuar sus disposiciones al régimen del Fondo de Asistencia Laboral (“FAL”) de la Ley N° 27.802.

Así, se incorpora el artículo 3 bis a la Resolución UIF N° 78/2023, estableciendo que los aportes obligatorios, contribuciones voluntarias, donaciones y demás ingresos destinados a los FAL quedan eximidos de las medidas, controles y procedimientos de Prevención de Lavado de Activos y Financiamiento del Terrorismo.

Además, se actualizan las referencias normativas relativas a los Sujetos Obligados del mercado de capitales contemplados en la Ley N° 25.246.

La excepción se fundamenta en un enfoque basado en riesgo, considerando factores mitigantes tales como la trazabilidad de los fondos canalizados a través de la Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA), el identificador único, la supervisión de la Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) y la imposibilidad de libre disponibilidad o rescate por parte de los empleadores.

UIF exempts Labor Assistance Funds from anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism controls

By means of Resolution No. 109/2026, published in the Official Gazette and effective as of September 18, 2026, the Financial Information Unit (the “UIF”) provided the amendment to UIF Resolution No. 78/2023 to adapt its provisions to the regime of the Labor Assistance Fund (“FAL”) under Law No. 27,802.


Article 3 bis is incorporated into UIF Resolution No. 78/2023, establishing that mandatory contributions, voluntary contributions, donations, and other income destined to the FAL are exempt from Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism measures, controls, and procedures.

Besides, statutory references regarding regulated entities in the capital markets under Law No. 25,246 are updated.

The exemption is grounded on a risk-based approach, considering mitigating factors such as the traceability of funds channeled through the Tax Collection and Customs Control Agency (ARCA), the unique identifier, National Securities Commission (CNV) supervision, and the restriction on employers regarding free availability or redemption of funds.
