The results of the analysis show that, while the majority of taxpayers benefitting from this exemption are in the upper income brackets, its elimination would not make the income tax more progressive. As to removing the favourable tax treatment for corporate income, the distributional effect is of relevant magnitude and the income tax becomes significantly more progressive. Generally speaking, the results suggest that income taxation in Chile is less progressive than it appears and that it is feasible to give it a more important redistributional role in reducing income inequality. 2014-01-02T18:46:10Z 2014-01-02T18:46:10Z 2012-12 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento http://hdl.handle.net/11362/11611 LC/G.2549-P en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 108 application/pdf CHILE CHILE
