Visit with Juan Andrés Fontaine, Chilean Minister for Economy

2010-10-12T14:38:00.000-07:00

Our President Juan Francisco Mackenna recently met with the Chilean Minister for Economy, Mr Juan Andrés Fontaine, to present the panorama of Chilean – Australian commerce and to bring to light the economic promise of collaboration between Chilean and Australian businesses, to introduce him to our Chamber of Commerce and how we work towards this end, as well as share with him the preparations for our upcoming Commercial Mission to Australia, planned for next year.
This ‘Misión Comercial’ will see four major sectors of Chilean industries travel to Australia to promote the country’s business opportunities to their interest groups in Australia. These include:
1. Mining Sector’s participation in Austmine, a mining conference to be held in Brisbane.
2. Financial sector’s inauguration of its ‘Chile Day’ which will promote investment options in Chile to the Australian stock market.
3. Agricultural and Horticultural sectors which will pursue the creation of a sister-city alliance between the Barossa Valley in South Australia and the Colchagua Valley of Chile’s 7th Province, plus other links between dried fruit and nuts businesses, and
4. Renewable Energy sector, whose hydroelectric companies with the desire to expand will seek investment to be able to develop further operations in the south of Chile.

Pregunta y Respuesta relevantes sobre el Tratado de Doble Tributación

2010-02-05T09:44:00.000-08:00

¿Qué importancia tiene este convenio?

Este convenio ayuda e impulsa las inversiones de Australia en Chile.

Conlleva todos los estandares internacionales para países miembros de la OCDE de intercambio de información entre autoridades tributarias.

Este acuerdo se debe a que Chile ha avanzado en un tema tan relevante como el intercambio de información, ley que fue aprobada recientemente por el Congreso.

¿Qué Beneficios concretosos tienen estos convenios para Chile?

Los profesionales chilenos que presten servicios temporalmente en Australia, sólo pagarán impuestos en Chile.

Las inversiones de los fondos de pensiones chilenos verán reducida la tasa de impuesto que pagan por los dividendos que perciben, o sea, quedan exentas de impuesto por las ganancias de capital que obtienen.

Las empresas australianas que prestan servicios desde Chile hacia afuera pagarán impuestos en Chile, pero se beneficiarán de un crédito en su país de origen.

¿Tienen estos convenios efectos sobre la recaudación fiscal?

Los inversionistas de Australia siguen sujetos al impuesto de primera categoría (17%) en Chile, así como al impuesto adicional de 35% si deciden transferir al exterior sus utilidades. Por este motivo la recaudación fiscal se prevee que sea la misma.

Por otro lado, estos convenios promueven la inversión y el intercambio, por tanto, la recaudación se compensa por medio del incremento de la actividad.
