- Chile is proposing to extend its VAT system to impose VAT on low-value consignments of goods being imported directly by consumers
- Currently, there is an Import VAT exemption threshold set at $500, allowing importers to purchase goods free of VAT from non-resident companies up to this value
- The proposal would remove this threshold and require non-resident providers to charge VAT to consumers at a rate of 19%
- This follows similar VAT measures introduced on supplies of digital supplies
- If introduced, there will be a simplified registration scheme with no VAT registration threshold for non-resident traders.
