Professional fees: 15.25% withholding during 2026

The increase affects net amounts received and the management of service payments.

The development

The Internal Revenue Service (SII) states that the withholding rate for professional fee receipts rose to 15.25% on 1 January 2026, in accordance with the phased increases under Law No. 21,133.

The change requires a distinction between agreed gross and net fees, and identification of who must make the withholding or corresponding provisional payment.

Why it matters

Service contracts and budgets should specify whether the agreed amount is gross or net and review how the fee receipt is issued.
