Tax stability and the Constitution

The Chilean Senate has approved a bill aimed at national reconstruction and economic and social development, which includes a tax stability regime benefiting projects involving investments of at least $50 million across various sectors. This measure establishes a graduated tax stability period up to 20 years. Opposition lawmakers have threatened to challenge this provision before the Constitutional Court, arguing it might violate constitutional principles. The article argues that the tax stability does not infringe on rights but supports economic freedom and legal certainty. It further contends that the idea of preventing future legislators from modifying such laws undermines democratic representation, as elected representatives should be able to act in the public interest. The author concludes that if the law is misinterpreted, it should be judged by the people, not the court.

Bias read (Center): While the article discusses a politically sensitive issue related to tax policy and constitutional interpretation, it presents arguments from both the opposition’s perspective and the author’s defense of the legislation. The tone remains balanced, avoiding overtly partisan language or one-sided bias
