Australian Tax Treaties
The Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the MLI) has modified the application of this tax treaty. A synthesised text of the MLI and this tax treaty is available to facilitate the understanding of how the MLI modifies this tax treaty.
In general,
a) If, after the date on which the Convention enters into force, either Contracting State introduces a tax on capital under its domestic law, the Contracting States will enter into negotiations with a view to concluding a Protocol to amend the Convention by extending its scope to include any tax on capital so introduced. The terms of any such Protocol shall have regard to any arrangements between either Contracting State and a third State for the relief of double taxation on capital.
b) With respect to pooled investment accounts or funds (as for instance the existing Foreign Capital Investment Fund, Law N ° 18.657), that are subject to a remittance tax and are required to be administered by a resident in Chile, the provisions of this Convention shall not be interpreted to restrict imposition by Chile of the tax on remittances from such accounts or funds in respect of investment in assets situated in Chile.
c) Nothing in this Convention shall affect the application of the existing provisions of the Chilean legislation Decree Law No. 600 (Foreign Investment Statute) as they are in force at the time of signature of this Convention and as they may be amended from time to time without changing the general principle thereof.
d) A regulated pension fund which is established in a Contracting State primarily for the benefit of residents of that State shall be treated as a resident of that State and the beneficial owner of the income it receives. For the purposes of this Convention the term " regulated pension fund " means, in the case of Australia, an Australian Superannuation Fund, Approved Deposit Fund or Pooled Superannuation Trust within the meaning of the tax laws of Australia and, in the case of Chile, a pension fund established under the pension system of Decree Law No. 3500, and such other similar funds as may be agreed by the competent authorities of the Contracting States.
