Explaining in a theoretical and practical way the implications of the challenges for the tax reform, was the central objective of the three-state discussion organized by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences of the University of La Serena.

Academic and non-academic officials and students met in the CETECFI Conference Room in a discussion chaired by the Director of the Department of Economics and Business Sciences of the Faculty of Social, Business and Legal Sciences, Mg. Alberto Hernández Venegas.

In the first instance, the academic carried out a general review and explanation of the tax system that prevails in the country, to then give way to a review of the proposals promoted by this new reform agreement.

The Mg. Alberto Hernández urged that these instances of conversation, discussion and learning be permanent, because they allow significant learning on issues that affect everyone in order to know in practical terms the functioning of the tax order.

Likewise, he highlighted the importance of disseminating this knowledge at all levels, “it is part of our training role, to teach our students who are about to graduate and who are not from the administration area, to inform them a little about what their pension obligations are.

Regarding the current revised tax agreement, he stated that it is quite radical because “in the initial proposal taxes were going to be reduced, although they have always pointed it out as support for SMEs; However, all support for SMEs is in force today. The only thing that changes now is that they concentrated it in a single system,” he explained.

The event allowed for the generation of an enriching learning dialogue through a series of questions and deepening of doubts generated by those present from each level of the state campus.

The initiative to hold tri-state conversations is part of the efforts and commitments of the University of La Serena as the entity responsible for the dissemination of knowledge available to everyone.
