Highlight
Chile is a country with an online, document-based fiscalization system. Businesses may use any electronic system capable of issuing DTE (Electronic Tax Documents), provided that the system can generate electronic invoices and receipts in XML format; digitally sign documents; communicate with the SII, store issued documents; and send documents both to the tax authority and customers. There are no specific hardware requirements, since the Chilean fiscalization model is online-based and not tied to dedicated fiscal devices.
Chile
Chile uses an online fiscalization system, specifically a clearance e-invoicing model. It is document-based, not device-based, meaning control is done through electronic tax documents (DTE), not fiscal printers or fiscal cash registers!
