35% standard corporate rate (progressive 25-35%). Knowledge Economy Law (Ley 27.506) gives qualifying tech and software exporters a 15% rate, VAT exemption, zero export tax, and fiscal stability through 2029. No formal IP box but the Knowledge Economy regime is functionally equivalent for eligible companies.
