(b) Articles G-02 and G-03 (Investment - National Treatment and Most-Favoured Nation Treatment) and Articles H-02 and H-03 (Cross-Border Trade in Services National Treatment and Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment) shall apply to all taxation measures, other than those on income, capital gains or on the taxable capital of corporations, taxes on estates, inheritances, gifts and generation-skipping transfers, except that nothing in those Articles shall apply:

(e) be applied on a national treatment or most-favoured-nation treatment basis, whichever is better.

a. Article G-02 or H-02 (National Treatment);

b. Article G-03 or H-03 (Most-Favored-Nation Treatment);

c. Article H-05 (Local Presence);

d. Article G-06 (Performance Requirements); or

e. Article G-07 (Senior Management and Boards of Directors), and, in certain cases, sets out commitments for immediate or future liberalization.

2. Each reservation sets out the following elements:

a. Sector refers to the general sector in which the reservation is taken;

b. Sub-Sector refers to the specific sector in which the reservation is taken;

c. Industry Classification refers, where applicable, to the activity covered by the reservation according to domestic industry classification codes;

d. Type of Reservation specifies the obligation referred to in paragraph 1 for which a reservation is taken;

e. Level of Government indicates the level of government maintaining the measure for which a reservation is taken;

f. Measures identifies the laws, regulations or other measures, as qualified, where indicated, by the Description element, for which the reservation is taken.

A measure cited in the Measures element

ii. includes any subordinate measure adopted or maintained under the authority of and consistent with the measure

g. Description sets out commitments, if any, for liberalization on the date of entry into force of this Agreement, and the remaining non-conforming aspects of the existing measures for which the reservation is taken; an

3. In the interpretation of a reservation, all elements of the reservation shall be considered. A reservation shall be interpreted in the light of the relevant provisions of the Chapters against which the reservation is taken. To the extent that:

a. the Phase-Out element provides for the phasing out of non-conforming aspects of measures, the Phase-Out element shall prevail over all other elements;

b. the Measures element is qualified by a liberalization commitment from the Description element, the Measures element as so qualified shall prevail over all other elements; and

c. the Measures element is not so qualified, the Measures element shall prevail over all other elements, unless any discrepancy between the Measures element and the other elements considered in their totality is so substantial and material that it would be unreasonable to conclude that the Measures element should prevail, in which case the other elements shall prevail to the extent of that discrepancy.

4. Where a Party maintains a measure that requires that a service provider be a citizen, permanent resident or resident of its territory as a condition to the provision of a service in its territory, a reservation for that measure taken with respect to Article H-02, H-03 or H-05 shall operate as a reservation with respect to Article G-02, G-03 or G-06 to the extent of that measure.

5. The listing of a measure in this Annex is without prejudice to a future claim that Annex II may apply to the measure or some application of the measure.

6. Unless otherwise stated in the Description element, a Chilean juridical person includes an enterprise of the other Party that is constituted or organized in Chile in a form which under Chilean law is recognized as being a juridical person.
