- Chile requires non-resident digital service providers to register for VAT and comply with updated rules effective October 25, 2025, with no registration threshold and no input VAT recovery.
- From January 2027, digital platforms may face new VAT obligations under deemed supplier rules, with updated place of supply criteria based on multiple customer location indicators.
- VAT applies to a wide range of digital services, including streaming, e-books, online gaming, SaaS, and digital journal subscriptions supplied by non-residents.
- Providers must determine customer residency using evidence like billing address, SIM card, payment location, or IP address.
- Registration is via a simplified portal, with monthly or quarterly returns, no need for a local representative, and VAT may be withheld by intermediaries if providers do not register.
