The Tax area of Araya & Cía. Seeks to assure our clients optimal development in their commercial activities.

The dynamic growth of exports forces its intermediaries to stay up-to-date on the various changes in the market, not only from a purely economic perspective, but also with respect to commercial and tax legal modifications. Adequate knowledge of these regulations can mean the safe and timely realization of new businesses, generation of profits and optimization of the associated tax burden. On the contrary, the lack of adequate advice could mean the omission of important platforms through which to develop business, and unnecessarily higher tax burden or even contingencies to be resolved with the tax authorities.
