Supported Document Types

Taggun has enhanced support in the following document types commonly used in Chile:

  • Factura: A formal invoice issued for sales or services rendered, typically used for larger transactions.
  • Boleta: A tax-compliant receipt used for smaller transactions, ensuring compliance with local tax regulations.
  • Comprobante: A general document serving as proof of a transaction, used when the specific type is undetermined.

Chile-Specific Enhancements


All Chilean Currency Values in CLP

All currency values extracted from Chilean receipts are standardised to CLP (Chilean Peso), ensuring consistent representation of monetary values across all documents.


RUT Normalisation & Validation

The RUT (Rol Único Tributario) is the Chilean tax identification number. Taggun normalises and validates the RUT to the standard XX.XXX.XXX-X format, ensuring consistency and accuracy regardless of how it appears on the receipt or invoice.


Document Type Classification

Taggun detects and classifies document types as either Factura, Boleta, or Comprobante:

  • Stricter validation rules are applied to Factura and Boleta to ensure compliance.
  • If the document type cannot be specifically identified, it defaults to 'Comprobante,' indicating a general transaction proof.

Extraction of Document Number

Taggun's specialised model extracts the document number for Factura and Boleta, which is crucial for tax reporting and compliance purposes.
