We answer common questions about operating in Chile from abroad, investor tax identification, legal representation, and working with Iberocapital.
Company formation in Chile from Brazil
Yes, without restrictions. Your company can be 100% foreign-owned, whether you invest as an individual or through a legal entity. The company and its foreign shareholders need the relevant tax registrations; we help you prepare those records.
It's our fastest advisory package: we review your case, prepare the corporate documentation and coordinate every stage with you entirely online. We advise you on the most suitable structure for your business and keep you updated on progress.
Yes. The structure is designed so you can be a partner or shareholder from abroad, signing powers of attorney and documents remotely when regulations allow.
If you choose express plan, the process is completed in a maximum of one week. If you opt for the traditional route (before the Real Estate Registry), the estimated time is two weeks or more. In both cases, deadlines begin once we receive all your complete documentation.
Individuals must be over 18 and hold valid tax identification. Legal entities must provide their registration records and an authorized signature. If you do not reside in Chile, you will also need local representation and investor tax identification. Signatures are formalized electronically or in person, depending on the package you choose. We guide you through each requirement.
The most commonly used structures are: • EIRL (Individual Limited Liability Company): ideal if you're starting alone and want to separate your personal assets from the company's. • SRL (Limited Liability Company): perfect for businesses with 2 or more partners seeking flexibility and asset protection. • SpA (Stock Company): the most versatile and popular among foreign investors. Allows a single shareholder and facilitates the entry of new partners. • SA (Corporation): recommended for larger companies or those planning to go public. We help you choose the structure that best suits your project.
Investor tax identification
It is the tax identifier that connects a foreign investor with their economic activities in Chile. The supporting records depend on whether you invest as an individual or through a company incorporated abroad.
Foreign individuals or companies without domicile or residence in Chile that want to participate in a Chilean company or make investments in the country.
It allows your participation in a Chilean company to be formalized and keeps your operations and investments correctly linked for tax purposes.
We review your case, validate the supporting records, and prepare the relevant mandate and forms. Your legal representative coordinates the required registrations and keeps you informed.
No. The entire process can be completed from your country of residence: we prepare the documentation and the power of attorney so you don't have to travel to Chile.
We normally complete the preparation within about 5 business days of receiving the full documentation. The overall timeline may vary depending on the investment structure and country of origin; after reviewing your case we give you an estimate with follow-up milestones.
Legal Representation
The powers are defined in the company's bylaws and may include: representing the company judicially and extrajudicially, signing contracts, opening bank accounts, issuing invoices, hiring personnel, and conducting procedures before public agencies. You decide the scope of their powers.
The law requires the company to have a person with domicile in Chile who can sign and respond to authorities in legal and tax matters.
Yes. It is possible to modify the legal representative through the corresponding minutes and annotations, respecting the formal requirements.
Iberocapital can designate one of its professionals as your company's legal representative, or you can appoint someone you trust who has domicile in Chile. We advise you to choose the best option for your situation.
Tax FAQs
Chile has a digital tax administration that registers companies and individuals, receives filings, and oversees compliance. Our role is to explain the obligations, prepare the records, and support you in making informed decisions.
Monthly payments are only made if the company has sales and/or withholdings for professional fee receipts. If a company is subject to VAT on sales, it must pay 19% of sales after deducting the tax credit from purchases in the period and accumulated tax credit. Additionally, when there are sales (whether VAT-subject or exempt), a Provisional Monthly Payment (PPM) must be paid, ranging from 0.25% to 1% of net sales. For VAT-exempt companies (generally services, consulting, etc.), only the PPM is paid. Annually, tax payment depends on the tax regime the company is under. One regime does not tax profits, and partners or shareholders pay personal tax (Pro Pyme Transparent Regime).
Chile has treaties in force with more than 30 countries, including: • Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and United States (for information exchange only). • Europe: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. • Asia and Oceania: China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand. These treaties prevent you from paying taxes twice on the same income. We advise you on how to take advantage of the treaty applicable to your country.
