Business registration in Salta blends national and provincial rules. The core framework comes from national laws such as the Ley de Sociedades Comerciales and the Código Civil y Comercial de la Nación, which set standards for forming and operating companies. In Salta, the provincial Registro de Comercio administers local filings such as constitutive acts, amendments, and ownership changes. Procedural changes in recent years have emphasized digital filings and online payments where available.
