8.5. Environmental taxes

In 2017, Chile began applying a green tax on stationary sources emitting local (PM, NO, SO2) and global (CO2) pollutants. The tax is charged annually on the emissions produced by establishments whose fixed sources produce thermal power greater than or equal to 50 thermal megawatts, individually or as a whole. In the case of local pollutants, the tax is calculated using a formula which aims to recognise the damage generated by emissions. As a result, the tax is higher in areas with larger populations in which pollution levels are considered to be saturated or latent. For CO2 emissions, the tax is set at CLP or USD 5 for each tonne discharged. The tax does not apply to fixed sources that use non-conventional renewable energy sources which rely primarily on biomass. There are no special rules for the agricultural sector.
