PwC Chile

Chile plans to overhaul its tax regime by amending corporate income tax provisions, capital gains tax rules, permanent establishment provisions and introduce a digital services tax. Sandra Benedetto and Gregorio Martínez of PwC Chile explain the changes.

The tax authority under a formal and strict application of such criterion has rejected expenses that were perfectly reasonable from a business perspective.

As a rule, remuneration for services – digital or otherwise – rendered by a non-resident non-domiciled in Chile to Chilean taxpayers are subject to a withholding tax, with rates of up to 35% over the full paid amount depending on the type of service.
