- The SII director defended Resolution N°69, which requires foreign online betting platforms operating in Chile to pay VAT on taxable digital services.
- He said the measure is about enforcing tax compliance, not authorizing or legalizing online gambling.
- He stressed that if the activity is illegal, that must be handled by the competent sectoral authorities; the SII’s role is to tax operations that actually occurred.
- He rejected claims that the resolution legitimizes illegal activity, arguing it simply prevents an unfair tax advantage for noncompliant platforms.
- He added that the SII works with other state bodies to fight evasion, illicit activities, and organized crime.
