Gonzalo Schmidt Gabler is a partner at PwC Chile, in the Santiago tax and legal services practice, and he is the partner in charge of the tax controversy and dispute resolution department.

Gonzalo joined PwC Chile in January 2007, advising national and multinational enterprises in their defence in tax audits and tax claim processes. From August 2010 to November 2012, he worked in the Chilean tax administration (SII) at the tax litigation department of the National Directorate, helping to implement and develop the fiscal defence in the new tax justice procedure in the whole country, whereby for the first time of the history of Chile, the tax courts are independent from the tax authorities.

Gonzalo has substantial experience in the tax audits process, administrative appeals, tax claims, taxpayers rights violation procedures, real estate tax claims and transfer pricing tax claims before the Chilean Internal Revenue Service, tax and customs courts and the Chilean courts of law.

Gonzalo has a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Los Andes, and he also holds a degree in management and tax planning from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He also has participated as a lecturer at the specialisation programme 'New Tax Justice' and he has written and co-published several articles regarding tax matters (e.g. 'The New Tax Justice in Chile', 'Discovery in Chile', 'Transfer pricing tax claims under Chile's new tax justice law', and 'Chile: New anti-avoidance rules: Substance over form?').
