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!

Type of fiscalization: Online

The Chilean fiscalization system applies to all taxpayers issuing invoices or receipts, including VAT-registered businesses and entities issuing Electronic Tax Documents (DTE). The rules apply to both B2B transactions through electronic invoices and B2C transactions through electronic receipts (Boleta Electrónica).
Fiscal obligations are linked to the issuance of electronic tax documents rather than to physical POS devices. The system applies across physical stores, e-commerce, mobile and remote sales, as well as on-site and remote service provision. Chile’s fiscal control model is therefore document-based, not device-based.
