Principle of tax certainty belongs to legal-technical principles of taxation. It requires that the tax paid by tax payers should be certain, not determined arbitrary. Application of principle of tax certainty is of great importance not only for tax administration because of predictable collection of revenues, but also for taxpayers due to minimising cash flow risks and realization of planned business activities. Classical financial theory considers principle of tax certainty as axiom that should not be explained additionally. However, its application in modern states is jeopardised, since tax systems have become more complex, not only in the sphere of legislation, but also in the field of implementation of tax laws. In the era of globalisation and expansion of cross-border business, taxpayers are facing with problem of tax compliance in more than one jurisdiction, and tax administrations with problem of determination of proper tax treatment. Tax uncertainty seriously affects liquidity, business and business strategies of taxpayers, and, at the macro level, investment, trade and revenue collection. Modern financial flows request a redefinition of principle of tax certainty and an achievement of the balance between tax certainty and desirable degree of tax uncertainty, which is needed for implementation of tax reforms and greater flexibility of tax policy, as strong instrument in the time of economic crisis.

Unlike other OECD countries, Chile has not yet established a uniform tax policy toward foreign investment. Moreover, Chile had past experiences of unsuccessful legislation on specific exempted investment vehicles created with the purpose of establishing the country as a hub or platform for foreign investment. An effective international tax policy design requires taking a holistic view of the challenges and their corresponding solutions. As a country’s tax regime is a key policy instrument that may negatively or positively influence investment, Chilean tax policy is being oriented in this regard. This Article reviews the progress of those projects and current legislation, compares other OECD countries’ experiences in this matter, analyzing the main facts or elements to consider upon deciding the relevant tax policy, and finally proposes a tax regime that could make Chile more competitive when attracting foreign operative investment, focused on a more regional approach. Accordingly, this Article also intends to serve as guide or help to be considered by regulators on the hard road of designing tax standards.

<p>Government Regulation No. 46/2013 has not been optimal in providing legal compliance on taxation for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially in Yogyakarta. This policy was evaluated and amended with Government Regulation No. 23/2018. The amendment in tax policy for MSME actors was this research background to examine: First, how does the final income tax policy impact MSME taxpayers' compliance in Yogyakarta? Second, what are the legal compliance constraints of MSME taxpayers? The method used in this research was a juridical empirical, supported with the statute and conceptual approach. The results showed that the amendment in the final income tax tariff policy from 1% to 0.5%, as well as provide legal certainty of the timeframe of taxation had a positive impact on increasing taxpayer compliance. There was an increase in the number of taxpayers to 41,000 in 2019, or an increase of 15.5% compared to the number of taxpayers in 2017. However, tariff reduction has not been the answer to taxpayer non-compliance, the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes of the Special Region of Yogyakarta still found tax avoidance. Tax compliance constraints were also caused by taxpayers' distrust of the government, poor tax morale, and tax knowledge. The government needs to conduct a cooperative compliance approach in taxation policies based on trust and dialogue between taxpayers and the government to improve MSME taxpayer compliance.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Tax Compliance; Final Income Tax Regulation; Micro; Small; Medium Enterprises.</p>
