Laws

The 30 Day Payment Law in Chile, which came into force from April 2020 for the private sector, sets a maximum term for all public and private contracts at 30 days unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.

Interest Rate

Penalty for late payment of commercial transactions includes 1% commission of the unpaid amount, as well as statutory interest rate for monetary obligations. The Commission for the Financial Market (CMF) publishes the current monetary obligation interest rates based on provisions of article 7 of Law No. 18,010.
