Cambio de criterio sobre restitución de crédito fiscal

Mediante Oficio N° 2908 del 23 de noviembre de 2023, el Servicio de Impuesto Internos (“SII”) corrigió una reciente interpretación que había realizado sobre las cantidades que debían incluirse para el cálculo de la restitución del crédito fiscal del Impuesto al Valor Agregado (“IVA”).

El artículo 27 bis de la Ley de IVA establece la posibilidad de un reembolso del remanente de crédito fiscal IVA resultante de la adquisición de activo fijo o de servicios relacionados. Dichas sumas reembolsadas deberán ser posteriormente restituidas al generarse débito fiscal.

Ahora bien, si con posterioridad a dicha devolución existieran “operaciones exentas o no gravadas” en una proporción mayor que al momento de la solicitud de reembolso, la Ley de IVA establece un mecanismo y cálculo de restitución del crédito.

Recientemente el SII (Oficio N° 2381) había señalado que los ingresos obtenidos por concepto de ganancia de capital o dividendos debían ser considerados como “operaciones” para el mencionado cálculo de restitución, lo que significaba un mayor pago de IVA y nuevas obligaciones tributarias asociadas a este tipo de rentas. Sin embargo, el SII revierte su criterio, indicando que dichos ingresos corresponden a frutos civiles y no “operaciones”.

Change of approach in Value Added Tax (VAT) credit refund

By Ruling No. 2908 of November 23, 2023, the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“SII”, after its Spanish acronym), corrected a recent interpretation that it had made regarding amounts that should have been included for the calculation of the restitution of the Value Added Tax (“VAT”) tax credit.

Under Section 27 bis of the VAT Law a taxpayer can request a refund for the remaining VAT tax credit resulting from the acquisition of fixed assets or related services. These reimbursed sums must be subsequently returned when tax debit is generated.

However, if after the refund there are “exempt or untaxed operations” in a greater proportion than at the time of the refund request, the VAT Law establishes a mechanism and calculation for restitution of the credit.

Recently the SII (Ruling No. 2381) determined that the income obtained from capital gains or dividends had to be included as part of the “operations” for purposes of the restitution calculation. This meant a higher VAT payment and new tax obligations associated with this type of income. However, the SII reverses its criteria, indicating that said income corresponds to civil fruits and not “operations”.
