Abstract

En este trabajo se propone un mecanismo concreto para captar una parte significativa de las rentas económicas de la gran minería privada del cobre en Chile (GMP-10), estimadas en USD 120 mil millones, por Sturla, Accorsi, López y Figueroa (2016) para el periodo 2005-2014. Este mecanismo corresponde a una nueva tasa impositiva de largo plazo sobre las utilidades del sector, que asegura que ninguna empresa deje de percibir por lo menos el retorno normal al capital, incluyendo primas de riesgo de diferente índole. Se demuestra que las empresas que explotan estos yacimientos, en caso de ser sometidas a esta nueva tasa impositiva, seguirán invirtiendo y produciendo tal como lo han hecho hasta ahora. Este nuevo impuesto a la gran minería no sería aplicable en el corto plazo debido a la invariabilidad tributaria autoimpuesta por gobiernos anteriores. Sin embargo, se propone un método de extracción de rentas que no vulnera esta invariabilidad y que tiene efectos recaudatorios de corto plazo similares a los esperados por la tasa impositiva propuesta para el largo plazo.
