This Tuesday, August 1, while the Government was announcing the new pillars and legislative process that will initiate its Fiscal Pact, more than 100 people attended in Osorno the First Tax and Financial Forum of the city organized by CCL Auditores Consultores — a leading nationally founded auditing and consulting firm with presence in six regions — to learn about the updates that this new tax project from the Government of President Gabriel Boric would bring.
The event — a pioneering initiative in the region — which was also followed by more than 150 people through a live stream on the firm’s social media channels, was led by CCL partners, particularly from its audit, tax, financial consulting, and integrated business services areas. The partners addressed the latest developments of the new fiscal pact presented this Tuesday, August 1 by the Government, the implications of real estate taxation in land subdivision, and upcoming sustainability topics in Chile from a financial perspective.
“This forum is an invitation to be prepared to understand and adapt to the regulatory changes that the Government will announce today regarding its Fiscal Pact proposal, to provide high-quality advisory services to our clients, and to promote sustainable business practices. Our work plays a key role in Chile’s economic and social development, and we must take on this challenge with responsibility and commitment,” explained Renato Estay, Southern Zone Partner at CCL, at the beginning of the event.
For CCL’s Lead Partner, Javier Jaque, who spoke on the panel about the New Fiscal Pact, he stated: “To establish a fiscal pact, one would expect a process that lasts for the next 30 years, and one of the challenges of our tax system is achieving legal certainty and stability. For several years now, we have had successive tax reforms where the tax system has become heavily patched. This makes it difficult to achieve equity, which is fundamental in this system to ensure tax neutrality in economic activity, and this is something we have not observed in Chile. Therefore, one of the first pillars we should discuss is whether we are currently in a national context that allows us to achieve a fiscal pact.”
The company also announced that their next event will take place in Antofagasta, as they aim to continue promoting events outside Santiago and highlight other cities across the country.
