On January 3, 2019, the President of Chile promulgated the 30-Day Payment Act (here in after the “Law”), which amends Law No. 19.983 on transfer and executive merit to a copy of the bill, Decree Law No. 825 on tax on sales and services, and law No. 20.169 on unfair competition.

The Law mainly establishes: (i) the obligation to pay the invoices within the maximum term of 30 calendar days, counted from its reception; (ii) the accrual of current interest in the event that the debtor does not pay within the indicated term; (iii) the payment of a commission, in addition to the interest, for the debtor in default; (iv) the invariability of the amount of the accepted and assigned invoices; (v) the obligation to issue electronic dispatch guides; (vi) a new conduct as an act of unfair competition and (vii) rules to regulate its phased entry into force of some of its rules.
