- Chile’s tax authority (SII) will require local financial institutions to withhold and remit VAT for non-registered foreign sellers and digital platforms starting 1 June 2026.
- The system targets remote sales of goods located abroad to Chilean consumers using credit, debit, or prepaid cards.
- Withholding agents must maintain detailed records and submit semiannual reports to the SII, with penalties for non-compliance.
- Sellers can be removed from the withholding list if they register for simplified taxation, pay debts, or only sell high-value goods.
- The first official list is published 15 June 2026, effective 1 July–31 December 2026, with the first report due by the last business day of February 2027.
