Conflicts continue to arise as to whether Chile can launch an online gambling regime as regulatory stakeholders dispute legislative boundaries, market rules, and tax policies.
Last week, Chile’s Internal Revenue Service (SII) declared that it had the right to exclude international operators from participating in the market due to ‘Resolution 26‘—a new tax rule co-authored by the Ministry of Finance to exclude non-domiciled businesses from Chile’s ‘simplified tax regime.’
As it stands, non-domiciled businesses are allowed an ‘automatic registration’ in Chile’s simplified VAT tax regime—a system created when VAT on digital services came into effect in 2020—reserved for foreign businesses.
