Chile’s tax authority (SII) issued Resolution No. 61 on 8 May 2025 in response to a request submitted on 31 December 2024 regarding whether the UAE qualifies as having a preferential tax regime.
The resolution confirms that the UAE is not considered to have a preferential tax regime under the Income Tax Law (LIR), effective from 1 June 2023, the date on which the corporate tax provisions of Federal Decree-Law No. 47, published on 10 October 2022, came into force.
This conclusion is based on the fact that, under Article 41 H valid until 31 December 2024, the UAE is not an OECD member and meets only one of the conditions outlined in the request.
Furthermore, under Article 41 H of the LIR in force from 1 January 2025, the UAE does not meet the conditions to be considered as having a preferential tax regime.
This resolution shall take effect from its publication in the Official Gazette.
Earlier, Chile’s Internal Revenue Service (SII) issued Resolution No. 30 of 6 March 2025 with an updated list of territories and jurisdictions with preferential tax regimes. The list reflected the new rules introduced by the Law on Compliance with Tax Obligations (Law No. 21.713), published in the Official Gazette on 24 October 2024.
