Chile

Chile extraction: RUT normalisation and validation, CLP fallback when currency is missing or unreadable, document classification, and document numbers.

Taggun’s core receipt and invoice extraction is available for documents from Chile. Which optional fields and country-specific results are returned depends on the endpoint, request parameters, account settings, and submitted document. Country-specific results may be omitted or returned without a usable value. For currency, date format, language, and tax-system context, see Supported Countries & Languages.

Supported Document Types

Taggun has enhanced support for the 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.

RUT Normalisation & Validation

The RUT (Rol Único Tributario) is the Chilean tax identification number. When a RUT is detected, Taggun can normalise it to the standard format and apply documented format validation.

Currency Defaulting

When a Chilean receipt's currency is missing or can't be read, Taggun defaults it to CLP (Chilean Peso). A currency that is clearly detected on the receipt — for example USD — is preserved as-is.

Document Type Classification

Taggun detects and classifies documents as Factura, Boleta, or Comprobante when the type can be identified:

  • Returns the detected document class, when available, as factura, boleta, or comprobante for use in your workflow.
  • If the document type cannot be identified, entities.chileReceiptDetails.documentType.data can be null or absent.

Document Number Extraction

Taggun's specialised model extracts the document number for Factura and Boleta. The value is available for downstream reconciliation or reporting; verify it independently before tax or compliance use.

Response Fields

These Chile-specific properties are included in verbose API responses when the features are enabled:

These optional properties and envelopes may be omitted, null, empty, or present without a populated data value. Guard both the object and data before use.
