• UTA reference unit — The IGC uses UTA (Unidad Tributaria Anual) as the reference unit. The December 2024 UTA was approximately CLP 807,528. Always verify at www.sii.cl. (www.sii.cl)
• IGC formula — IGC = (Taxable Income in UTA x Rate) - Amount to Deduct in UTA, then convert to CLP
• UTA month warning — WARNING: UTA values change monthly. Always use the December UTA of the tax year at www.sii.cl. (www.sii.cl)

Impuesto Único de Segunda Categoría (IUSC) — Monthly Withholding

• IUSC description — The IUSC applies the same progressive rate structure as the IGC but on a monthly basis using UTM (Unidad Tributaria Mensual) instead of UTA. This is the payroll withholding tax for employed workers.

Taxable Income (UTM)	Rate	Deduction (UTM)
0 — 13.5 UTM	Exempt (0%)	—
13.5 — 30 UTM	4%	0.54 UTM
30 — 50 UTM	8%	1.74 UTM

120 — 310 UTM	35%	23.26 UTM
310+ UTM	40%	38.76 UTM

• IUSC formula — IUSC = (Taxable base in UTM x Rate) - Deduction in UTM, then convert to CLP. Taxable base = Gross salary - AFP (10% + commission) - Health (7% Fonasa or Isapre %).
• UTM 2026 value — CLP 66,500 (approx) CLP (2026) (www.sii.cl)

Section 4 — Worked Examples

Example 1 — BancoEstado (Santiago, IT Consultant — Gastos Presuntos)

Bank: BancoEstado statement Client: Pablo Muñoz, IT consultant, Santiago, trabajador a honorarios

Step 1 — Income Classification

All transfers from clients = gross honorarios. Annualised gross: CLP 25,000,000 (example). Withholding at 14.5%: CLP 3,625,000 withheld by corporate clients (PPM credit).

Step 2 — Gastos Presuntos

30% x CLP 25,000,000 = CLP 7,500,000. Cap = 15 UTA = CLP 12,112,920. Under cap — apply CLP 7,500,000.

Step 3 — Cotizaciones

Approx CLP 2,500,000 deducted from withholding for AFP + salud + SIS.

Step 4 — IGC Computation

Gross honorarios:        CLP 25,000,000
Less cotizaciones:       CLP  2,500,000
Less gastos presuntos:   CLP  7,500,000
Renta neta:              CLP 15,000,000

At UTA 807,528: CLP 15,000,000 = ~18.6 UTA IGC: first 13.5 UTA exempt. 13.5-18.6 UTA at 4%. Tax = (18.6 - 13.5) x 4% x 807,528 = 5.1 x 0.04 x 807,528 = ~CLP 164,736

PPM credit: CLP 3,625,000 - cotizaciones = ~CLP 1,125,000 remaining as PPM. Result: CLP 164,736 - CLP 1,125,000 = refund ~CLP 960,264

Example 2 — BCI (Valparaíso, Architect — Gastos Efectivos)

Bank: BCI statement Client: Sofía Araya, architect, Valparaíso, high expenses

Gross honorarios: CLP 45,000,000 Gastos efectivos (documented): studio rent CLP 7,200,000, software CLP 2,400,000, subcontractors CLP 8,000,000, travel CLP 1,800,000 = CLP 19,400,000

Compare: gastos presuntos = 30% x 45M = CLP 13,500,000 (capped at 15 UTA = CLP 12,112,920). Gastos efectivos (CLP 19,400,000) > presuntos cap (CLP 12,112,920) — use efectivos.

Renta neta: CLP 45,000,000 - cotizaciones - CLP 19,400,000 = ~CLP 21,100,000 IGC at higher brackets. PPM and cotizaciones as credits.

Example 3 — Santander Chile (Santiago, Low-Income Refund)

Bank: Santander Chile Client: Camila Rojas, translator, low income

Gross: CLP 8,000,000. Withholding 14.5% = CLP 1,160,000. After cotizaciones and gastos presuntos: renta neta below 13.5 UTA. IGC = CLP 0. Full PPM (after cotizaciones) refunded.

Example 4 — Banco de Chile (Concepción, Mixed Employment + Honorarios)

Bank: Banco de Chile Client: Andrés Soto, engineer, employed + freelance

Employment income: CLP 20,000,000 (employer withholds PAYE). Honorarios: CLP 15,000,000 (gastos presuntos).

Both aggregate in IGC. PPM from honorarios + PAYE from employment = total credits. Flag: mixed income requires careful coordination; verify employment tax withholding.

Example 5 — Banco BICE (Santiago, Gastos Presuntos Cap Hit)

Bank: Banco BICE Client: Roberto Díaz, consultant, high-income

Gross honorarios: CLP 60,000,000. Gastos presuntos: 30% x 60M = CLP 18,000,000. Cap = 15 UTA = CLP 12,112,920. Deduction = CLP 12,112,920 (capped). Compare with gastos efectivos — if actual expenses exceed CLP 12M, switch to efectivos.

Example 6 — Mach / Tenpo (Santiago, Digital Creator)

Bank: Mach (BCI digital wallet) / Tenpo Client: Valentina Pérez, digital creator, receives via Stripe and Transbank

Digital bank narrations: Transferencia recibida, Abono TEF Stripe: gross-up required for fee deduction. Total gross: CLP 18,000,000.

At ~22.3 UTA: IGC bracket 13.5-30 UTA at 4%. PPM credit likely covers entire tax. Probable refund.

Section 5 — Tier 1 Rules (Apply Directly)

• T1-CL-1 — Gastos presuntos capped at 15 UTA — The 30% deemed expense deduction cannot exceed 15 UTA regardless of how high the gross income is. Always check the cap. Use the December UTA of the tax year. (T1-CL-1)
• T1-CL-2 — Withholding rate is 14.5% for 2025 — Boletas de honorarios issued in 2025 attract a 14.5% withholding. This covers both PPM (income tax advance) and cotizaciones previsionales. Do not use rates from other years. (T1-CL-2)
• T1-CL-3 — PPM is a credit, not income reduction — The withholding on boletas (after cotizaciones are deducted) is a credit against the annual IGC. It does not reduce gross income. Excess PPM is refunded during Operación Renta. (T1-CL-3)
• T1-CL-4 — Cotizaciones previsionales are mandatory — Under Ley 21.133, trabajadores a honorarios must contribute to AFP, salud, SIS, and ATEP. Cotizaciones are deducted from the boleta withholding before PPM is calculated. They are deductible from gross income for IGC purposes. (T1-CL-4; Ley 21.133)
• T1-CL-5 — December UTA only for IGC computation — The IGC table uses the December UTA of the tax year. Never use January or any other month's UTA. Verify at www.sii.cl. (T1-CL-5; www.sii.cl)
• T1-CL-6 — Tax payments are not deductible — PPM payments (Formulario 29) and annual tax payments (Formulario 22 balance) are credits against tax, not deductible expenses. (T1-CL-6)

Section 6 — Tier 2 Catalogue (Reviewer Judgement Required)

Tier 2 Catalogue table

Code	Situation	Escalation Reason	Suggested Treatment
T2-CL-1	Gastos efectivos with partial documentation	Only documented expenses qualify; undocumented must be removed	Flag — SII audit risk; reviewer must confirm documentation
T2-CL-2	APV Régimen A vs Régimen B choice	Optimal regime depends on marginal IGC rate	Present both options; flag for reviewer
T2-CL-3	Mixed employment and honorarios	Both incomes aggregate in IGC; PPM and PAYE are separate credits	Flag — confirm aggregation and credit coordination
T2-CL-4	Cotizaciones opt-out claim	Workers may opt out only if covered by other source (employment)	Verify eligibility under Ley 21.133 phase-in
T2-CL-5	Foreign-source income	Chilean residents taxed on worldwide income after 3 years	Escalate — treaty analysis may apply
T2-CL-6	Capital gains from investments	Separate IGC treatment under art. 17 No. 8	Flag — different rates and exemptions apply

Section 9 — Onboarding Fallback

Expense method choice:

"Before I compute your IGC, I need to know whether you want to use gastos presuntos (deemed 30% deduction, no receipts needed, capped at 15 UTA) or gastos efectivos (actual documented expenses, no cap but requires full receipts). If your actual expenses exceed the presuntos cap (~CLP 12 million), gastos efectivos may save you tax. Which method would you like to use?"

Cotizaciones verification:

"Trabajadores a honorarios are required to make social security contributions (AFP, salud, SIS, ATEP) under Ley 21.133. These are deducted from your boleta withholding. Do you have records of cotizaciones paid? You can check at www.previred.com or your AFP's website."

PPM reconciliation:

"The boleta withholding (14.5% in 2025) covers both cotizaciones and PPM (income tax advance). After cotizaciones are deducted, the remaining amount is your PPM credit against the annual IGC. Do you have your Formulario 29 payment receipts for months where you self-withheld? I need to reconcile total PPM for the year."

APV regime:

"I see you may have voluntary pension contributions (APV). APV Régimen A deducts the contribution from taxable income now (taxed later on withdrawal). Régimen B gives no deduction now but provides a 15% state bonus. The optimal choice depends on your marginal IGC rate. Can you confirm which regime your APV is under?"
