In Chile, 25 foreign iGaming operators have registered with the tax authority under the threat of a 19% VAT withholding.
The Chilean tax authority, SII, has published lists of online operators that have registered to pay the 19% digital VAT, as well as those that remain unregistered. Operators rushed to register on July 14-15 after SII warned that starting July 15, payment processors would begin withholding VAT from every transaction made by users on unregistered sites.
The list of registered operators includes:
- 1xBet
