also, your link to sii doesn't work, but my understanding is that if you are paid from abroad and it's wired to you each month, and you convert it to pesos locally, it's just income and charged at the same rate as any other income.

in general the tax system is very transparent and open - it's easy to be self employed and you just pay 10% monthly as i described. at the end of the year chilean banks declare your interest etc etc, you get a web page that lists everything that you click "ok" on, and then you get a refund.

i have no idea about $200,000 a year salaries. i am just describing normal life working for an american company as a contractor (ie self employed from the chilean pov). frankly, if you earn that much, or you're looking for some kind of tax haven, pay someone for some advice instead of reciting stuff from wikipedia that you don't have the context to understand.
