More info

Chile pioneered electronic invoicing in Latin America. Since February 2018, all businesses—including rural and micro‐enterprises—must issue and receive electronic tax documents (DTEs) in XML format via the SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos), with full clearance and digital signature requirements. Chile covers B2G, B2B, and B2C e‑invoicing universally.
