Next, we will describe the payment typologies that are examined in the Second Study:
IV.1. Income Tax
1. General Aspects
1.1. Concept
Income Tax -
The Third Category Income Tax is the tax that the companies pay on income or earnings that are
obtained for business activities, including: commercial, industrial, service-oriented or company-
related activities. Generally, these revenues come from taxes on capital and work, which are
understood as stemming from a durable source that is prone to generate periodic income.
Domiciled taxpayers pay taxes on their income or annual earnings from global sources and must
make advance tax payments.
Mining -
The mining canon corresponds to 50% of the Third Category Income Tax declared by mining
companies. According to the Mining Canon Law, this corresponds to the “the Local and Regional
Governments effective and adequate share of Total revenues and income obtained by the State for
the exploitation of mineral, metallic and non-metallic resources.” According to this law, the
resources obtained from the Canon will be used by Local and Regional Governments exclusively
for the purpose of engaging in infrastructure works that have a regional and/or local impact.
