The seminar held in Puerto Varas provided local business leaders with tools on tax compliance and corporate sustainability.
Yesterday, Wednesday, March 19, in Puerto Varas, CCL Auditores Consultores, the leading national consulting and auditing firm, organized a seminar focused on tax compliance and sustainability within business groups. The event, aimed at local productive sectors such as aquaculture, forestry, construction, livestock, and tourism, sought to provide tools for strategic decision-making in these industries.
Javier Jaque, Tax Consulting Partner at CCL Auditores Consultores, stated that “we believe it is important to address topics related to tax compliance and sustainability. It is essential for business groups to become aware of the times ahead, as well as how these factors will impact the structure of companies in the region and the salmon industry across the Los Lagos region.”
Meanwhile, Renato Estay, Southern Region Partner at CCL Auditores Consultores, highlighted that “we opened an office in Puerto Montt a few months ago and have been focusing on the southern part of the country. We have offices in several cities such as Antofagasta, Santiago, Concepción, Valdivia, Osorno, and now Puerto Montt. Our goal is to connect with the productive sectors of each region. Today, for example, we are offering a seminar on tax compliance, focused on Law 21.713, published last year and already in force.”
“We also addressed tax sustainability, a new component within tax compliance that larger companies must meet. This sustainability also requires traceability, particularly in terms of the transparency that taxpayers must maintain with the Internal Revenue Service,” he added.
“The seminar aims to bring business leaders closer to the concept of sustainability and its implications, especially in financial statements and decision-making related to tax compliance. What we seek is for business owners and finance managers, when preparing their budgets, to clearly understand the tax aspects that may affect them, beyond VAT or income tax,” he added.
The general manager of Naviera Paredes, Bettina Paredes, stated that “this is a very valuable seminar given the new regulations that are coming. The topics presented are highly relevant to all the aspects we must consider in our line of work. As one of the speakers mentioned, we are part of a production chain where we act as suppliers. Our clients, in turn, must comply with certain regulations required by other, more demanding markets. Therefore, as part of that chain, we must be fully aware and maintain a broad perspective on how to comply with all these regulations.”
