The Chilean Tax Service (SII) reports that there is now a new Electronic
Tax option called Folder available on www.sii.cl. An application that
permits the taxpayers to keep statements and tax information requested
by any organization such as banks, in one single document.
This option will mainly benefit individuals as well as micro and small
businesses, that will not have to dedicate time or spend resources to
obtain copies of forms or statements, real estate certificates,
activity certificates, etc. All that information will be available in
an Electronic Tax Folder that is free of charge just like all the
options of the virtual office of the SII.
On the other hand, banks or institutions that request this type of
information of their clients will be able, with authorization of the
taxpayer, to verify the content of the Electronic Tax Folder,
according to the information available in the SII databases at the
moment. Additionally, they will receive the information in a standard
format which is fast and easy for its clients to obtain and that will
be able to be printed to deliver personally or be sent by email to the
indicated person, which accelerates the financial evaluation of the
client.
Description of the Electronic Tax Folder
The Electronic Tax Folder can contain information of the taxpayer’s
identification, economic activity, real estate, summary of Electronic
Invoices for Professional services emitted
within the last year, and the last Statements of the VAT Form 29 and
the Income Form 22. The
taxpayer will be able to generate a personalized folder by selecting
the information needed, or choose some of the predetermined folders to
request credits, verify income or approve size of the business.
To interact with the Virtual Office of the SII, the taxpayer must provide
their RUT (Taxpayer identification number) and Password. The folder is
formatted in “.PDF", which can be kept to print or email.
The Electronic Tax Folder contains current information corresponding to
the SII databases the day and hour in which it is generated. The
recipient of the information will be able to check the validity of the
information for a maximum period of 90 days and in doing so, will need
that the taxpayer provide a security code and password, which is
automatically produced when creating a folder.
How to create a Folder
The steps to create a tax folder are the following:
• Enter www.sii.cl, “Situación
Tributaria” section.
• Select “Generar
Carpeta Tributaria”
• Choose the type of folder desired. There are three types that are
predetermined including an option to personalize or build a folder
with the necessary information.
• Be identified by RUT and Password.
• Verify that the information shown on screen is correct.
• Enter data of the recipient of the information.
• Finally, a page will appear confirming the creation of the
folder and the dispatch of the email to the recipient. This page
contains the code and password to review it on the Internet. A copy of
the folder in “. PDF” format will be available to view and save on
this page.
There are two step-by-step Guides on the SII website which have been
incorporated for assistance. They will instruct the taxpayer how to
create a tax folder and guide the recipient on how to review it. There
are also several Frequent Questions included on the subject.
