First we need to ask, what is a Municipal Patent?<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n It\u2019s a necessary permission to carry out any commercial activity that needs a permanent location. It\u2019s granted by the municipality where the activity is carried out or the business is located. If our interest is to have a clothing store, we need to have a municipal patent to develop that activity.<\/p>\n There are different types <\/u>of municipal permits:<\/p>\n Patents are specific to the activity indicated at the time of request, and if you want to expand the business, you must apply for a patent extension.<\/p>\n Commercial<\/u><\/strong> patent application<\/strong>:<\/u><\/p>\n The municipal patent must be applied for at the company\u2019s tax domicile, the requirements for which vary depending on each municipality and whether a new patent is applied for, a patent for change of domicile or one for opening a branch office, among others.<\/p>\n In general, there are common antecedents that are requested in every municipality:<\/p>\n In case of requesting the opening of a branch, a Capital Distribution Certificate, a copy of the SII Branch Opening Form, and the last payment bulletin of the patent in the municipality of the parent company must be attached.<\/p>\n If the application is for a patent due to a change of domicile, it must be accompanied by Form 22, a copy of the notice of change of domicile before the SII and a certificate of no debt for patents in the previous municipality.<\/p>\n If requested by the owner, this is demonstrated by the current Certificate of Ownership.<\/p>\n If the property is leased, the lease must be accompanied by an authorized signature before a Notary Public or by a valid Certificate of Ownership in the name of the lessor.<\/p>\n If requested by the subtenant: both the original lease contract must be accompanied (it must not contain a prohibition to sublease or to assign the use and enjoyment of all or part of the property) as well as the sublease contract.<\/p>\n If the property is used by Authorization of Use, Assignment or Commodity, the document in which this is stated must be accompanied, authorized before a Notary or with a Certificate of Current Domain.<\/p>\n It also requires a permit from the Directorate of Works called Certificate of Prior Information<\/u>, which indicates that the place where it is intended to develop the business is suitable for it.<\/p>\n And in certain specific cases, permits from other entities are also required, for example, a Sanitary Resolution issued by the SEREMI of Health of the corresponding region is required for perishable food stores.<\/p>\n If what is requested is an Industrial Patent<\/u>, the documents indicated for the Commercial Patent must be submitted, with additional antecedents, these depend on the activity that is sought to develop and the Municipality before which the patent is requested. It is recommended to consult the municipality directly.<\/p>\n Value and validity of the Patent<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n The regulations on this matter state that patents are valid for 1 year<\/u> and give the municipality the power to set the annual value of these in an amount between 2.5 x 1000 and 5 x 1000 of the equity of each taxpayer, declared before the SIII, establishing as minimum value of the patent 1 UTM and maximum 8000 UTM.<\/u><\/p>\n The payment is annual<\/u>, and its price varies in each municipality, with most municipalities having the semester payment method.<\/p>\n In the case of the patent of Alcohols, its price is fixed by the Law of Alcohols, varying between 0.6 UTM and 4 UTM.<\/p>\n\n
