Defense spending is considered an extrabudgetary expense in accordance with IMF accounting guidelines. |

For 2015, the central government recorded a fiscal deficit equivalent to US$(5.2) billion, or 2.2% of GDP, and a structural fiscal deficit of US$(3.6) billion, or 1.6% of GDP.

Based on the macroeconomic assumptions, revenues of the central government for 2017 are estimated at US$52.1 billion, representing an increase of 1.7% compared to the revenues estimated for 2016. This increase reflects greater expected tax revenue from non-mining companies estimated to be 0.3% higher than in 2016, which are partially offset by the expected decrease in revenues originating from Codelco (transfers and taxes), estimated to be 3.0% lower than in 2016, respectively.
As a result, the government has budgeted a fiscal deficit of US$(8.1) billion, or 3.3% of GDP, for 2017. The 2017 budget assumes a structural fiscal deficit of 1.5% of GDP. See Form 18-K—“Fiscal Policy Framework — Structural Balance Policy Rule”.
Government Revenue
Taxation
Tax revenues accounted for 12% of GDP for the first eight months of 2016, compared to 11.8% of GDP for the same period in 2015.
Tax Reforms
In February 2016, the government enacted Law No. 20,899 introducing adjustments to the tax reform launched in 2014. The new law includes, among other changes: (i) a revised methodology for computation of corporate income tax credit at a shareholder-level against final taxes (first category tax for residents and withholding tax for non-residents); (ii) the elimination of the 65% limit on the creditability of corporate income tax against non-resident
E-30
withholding tax (35%) on distributions under the semi-integrated mechanism for shareholders resident in jurisdictions that were party to a tax treaty with Chile as of January 1, 2017 and the treaty enters into force before December 31, 2019; (iii) broader foreign tax credit rules; and (iv) amendments to the rules applicable to controlled foreign corporations (CFC).
On October 26, 2016, the government enacted Law No. 20,956 that introduced miscellaneous modifications to a number of laws and regulations incidental to the financial-sector aimed at boosting productivity by expanding financing options, promoting the export of services and simplifying procedures for entrepreneurs and investors. Among other measures, the law introduced (i) changes to the VAT Law to promote and facilitate exports of domestic services; (ii) changes to the Income Tax Law to streamline the taxation on the issuance and trading of debt securities; (iii) changes to the electronic invoicing regime to facilitate trading and financing discounts; (iv) modifications to the Pensions Law and Insurance Law to diversify investment products available for pension funds and insurance companies by introducing new investment alternatives, including infrastructure projects; (v) modifications to the Organic Law of the Central Bank of Chile to authorize the existence and operation of domestic clearing and settlement entities and to recognize global payment, clearing and settlement organizations and the participation of local banks and financial entities in such systems; and (vi) modifications to the law governing local securities’ custodian entities to expand their ability to vote, transfer and foreclose upon securities held in custody. These modifications will become effective at different points in times to allow each industry to implement the necessary operational changes.
Tax Measures for Foreign Investors
The Chilean government has entered into, and is currently negotiating with other countries, international agreements to avoid double taxation and to prevent tax evasion. Most of these agreements are or are expected to be based on the OECD model agreement. On April 1, 2016, the Chilean government signed a double taxation agreement with Uruguay, which is expected to enter into force in January 2017.
