Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Recorded official or regional-official language tags: es.

Selected national claims reviewed

Document vocabulary and checks

Core Chilean DTE document zones and particulars, February 2026 schema context, electronic signature and SII stamp boundary, and six-year electronic-tax-document retention are reviewed from SII sources. This local Factura is not an SII DTE and cannot enrol an issuer, allocate folios, sign, stamp, transmit or validate a fiscal document. Sector rules and transaction-specific IVA treatment remain separate checks.

  • Guidance: Chile's SII describes the electronic invoice as a digitally signed, legally valid commercial document whose numbering is authorised online.
