How Chile Became a Secret Tax Haven for Smart Global Entrepreneurs

If you think tax planning is only about rebates and deductions — think again!
Some of the world’s sharpest business minds are playing the game on a whole new level.
Want proof? Let’s talk about Chile, walnuts, lithium, and the six-year tax holiday trick that’s got global traders buzzing.

🥜 Why Chile’s Walnuts Matter

Chile produces some of the best quality walnuts in the world.
But if you try to import them to India, the custom tax can be a back-breaker — sometimes up to 100%!
When a few people in our network figured out legit ways to reduce these taxes using trade treaties, one guy took it even further.
He didn’t just trade — he took Chile’s passport!
Why? To unlock a world-class tax residency deal

🌍 The Secret: Chile’s 6-Year Tax Holiday

Chile quietly offers a six-year tax holiday for new tax residents.
Here’s how this genius cracked it:
1️⃣ Years 1–3: You pay taxes only on your foreign income. He arranged things so his main income was from India. Result: #Shunyatax on Chile income.
2️⃣ Years 4–6: He extended the holiday by proving he didn’t plan to live there permanently — so he still qualified as a non-permanent resident.
3️⃣ After Year 6: He took full Chilean citizenship, but stopped living in Chile, becoming a non-resident. This means: he’s only taxed on any income earned inside Chile. Global income = untaxed!

💡 Fun fact: To get this Chile residency, he didn’t invest $500,000 like Portugal’s golden visa or $2 million like Dubai’s. He just showed $1,500/month in passive income from Chile!

🔋 Lithium: Chile’s Real Power Play

Chile isn’t just about nuts. It’s also the world’s #2 lithium producer, controlling 40% of global reserves — huge for the EV revolution.
While enjoying low taxes, this smart trader entered the lithium supply chain, selling to battery makers globally — with single-digit taxes.

And guess what? India and Chile recently signed a trade agreement for lithium too. So it’s not just smart — it’s future-ready!

💼 Why Chile Beats Many Popular Tax Residency Options

Let’s compare:

• 🇵🇹 Portugal Golden Visa: €500,000 investment + strict stay rules.

• 🇦🇪 Dubai: 2 million euros minimum + rising compliance.

• 🇦🇺 Australia Investor Visa: $1 million+.

• 🌴 Caribbean: $150,000+ donation or real estate, but limited real trade benefits.
