Chile's SII defends VAT collection from online betting platforms in Senate
Chile's Internal Revenue Service (SII) defended its decision to enable foreign online betting platforms to pay VAT during a Senate session. The agency said the measure provides a way to collect tax owed and does not recognise the legality of the activities; senators questioned whether it could conflict with Supreme Court rulings.
The measure could require foreign betting platforms to meet Chilean tax obligations without resolving their legal status.
