U.S. Treasury Department Signs New Treaty with Chile
By Keith Gercken and Dawn Mayer
On February 4, 2010, the Department of Treasury signed a new income tax treaty with Chile, signifying a milestone for both countries. The treaty has not yet been ratified, but if approved by the U.S. Senate, would become the first income tax treaty between the U.S. and Chile and only the second U.S. income tax treaty with a South American country (a treaty with Venezuela was signed in 1999).
