- Chile’s tax authority clarified that digital platform operators are not responsible for VAT on domestic transactions where all parties (vendor, customer, goods/services) are in Chile.
- Delivery services performed by local employees are exempt from VAT, so platforms merely facilitating these are not liable for VAT.
- VAT responsibility lies with the domestic supplier or resident, not the platform, when goods are in free circulation in Chile.
- Platforms are not required to verify or hold information on the vendor’s VAT status for domestic transactions.
- The ruling limits previous provisions that could have made platforms liable if vendor VAT information was missing, as long as the transaction is domestic.
