- Chile has introduced a simplified VAT regime for non-resident e-commerce marketplaces selling low-value goods (under USD 500) to Chilean consumers.
- The new rules require non-resident vendors and platform operators to register for VAT and collect it at the point of sale; the regime took effect on October 25, 2025.
- If VAT is collected by the online vendor or platform, the import is tax-exempt and customs clearance is simplified; if not, the customer must pay import tax and follow regular procedures.
- Nine major non-resident e-commerce operators, covering over 90% of low-value online imports, have registered under the new regime.
- Authorities urge customers to buy from registered platforms to ensure fair tax treatment and avoid complications with customs and additional taxes.
