Last Friday these questions tripped up Angel Toninelli, one of the directors general of the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, the national tax agency. Toninelli admitted that he did not really understand the inner workings of the approval process for obtaining foreign currency to travel abroad. ‘It is a formula that changes periodically,’ he said in answer to a question. ‘It contains ingredients that come from the central bank, the A.F.I.P., and others that come from God,” he explained, adding, ‘It isn’t the Coca-Cola formula, but it’s very similar.'”
