Foreign investments made by Chilean-residents

  1. New regulation standardizes the treatment of foreign tax credits.
  2. Extends the types of income which grant credit:
    • Dividend and profit distributions;
    • Income for the use of intangibles;
    • Professional or technical services and export services;
    • Income derived from dependent or independent labor;
    • Income attributed to PE located abroad;
    • Passive income obtained by controlled foreign companies, and
    • Income derived from tax treaty jurisdictions with which Chile undertook to grant a foreign tax credit.
  3. The possibility of using the WHT paid in Chile by a foreign subsidiary of a Chilean company is established.

Certain income derived from research and development projects are excluded from the passive income definition, subject to approval by the Production Development Corporation (CORFO).
