Company stamp maker for Chile

A timbre is not legally required in Chile, where electronic invoicing has been mandatory for years, though a stamp carrying the RUT is still common on receipts and paper forms.

Open the stamp maker

Chile was an early mover on the boleta and factura electrónica, and tax documentation runs through the SII electronically with no stamp anywhere in it. What survives is the paper around that: acknowledgements, forms, delivery notes and correspondence, where a timbre identifies the business quickly.

Questions

Is a company stamp required in Chile?

No. Tax documentation is electronic through the SII and carries no stamp. The timbre is a convention on receipts, forms and correspondence.

What is a RUT and does it go on the stamp?

The Rol Único Tributario, the tax identification number, written with a hyphen before its check digit. It is the identifier everyone verifies, so it belongs on the stamp.

What is the giro?

The declared line of business registered with the SII. Many Chilean company stamps carry it alongside the razón social and the RUT.
