- 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.
