Chile SII Electronic Invoicing (DTE)
SII-validated e-invoicing for Chilean operations. DTE issuance, IVA automation, retentions, and ZOFRI free trade zone support.
What SII requires
Chile's SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) was one of the earliest adopters of mandatory electronic invoicing in LATAM. Every invoice is a DTE (Documento Tributario Electrónico) with SII folio control, digital signature, and real-time transmission. Retentions, IVA, and specific excise taxes must be calculated automatically.
