Key facts

  • Chile does not impose a comprehensive net wealth tax; a 2022 proposal (assets above about CLP 5,000 million, rates of 1% to 1.8%) did not advance.
  • Law 21,420 imposes an annual 2% tax on the market value of certain luxury assets registered in Chile, such as high-value vehicles, aircraft and yachts.
  • A property surtax applies when one taxpayer's assessed property exceeds about CLP 600 million, at marginal rates of 0.075% to 0.425%, billed with the territorial tax.
  • Inheritance and gift tax also taxes accumulated wealth; the source gives no rates.

Steps

  1. Understanding the Tax — It is uncertain how one determines their net assets and whether certain assets are exempt from the tax. Official sources may not provide clear guidance.
  2. Filing Requirements — It is unclear what, if any, specific requirements or forms must be filed to report wealth. Official guidance is uncertain.
