Can a Chilean exporter deduct Chile's green tax from CBAM?
Only for CBAM goods, and only for tax actually paid on the emissions behind them, with proof and independent certification. Chile's tax, about US$5 per tonne on large emitters, mostly hits power and mining, and copper is not a CBAM good, so few exports qualify.
Who it applies to
Large stationary sources above the law's thresholds pay per tonne of CO2. Check the current rate and thresholds.
What counts
- Tax paid on the installation's emissions, per tonne of goods exported.
- Not offsets used to reduce the bill.
- Certified by an independent person.
Copper
Copper cathode is outside CBAM, so there is nothing to deduct from. Copper buyers ask for footprints for their own reporting instead.
What Senseible does here
Senseible keeps each site's fuel, power and production records together, so the embedded emissions you send an EU importer trace back to dated documents.
