Document format and locale facts for Chile

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.
