Frequently asked questions

What is an expert (referente)?

Someone who adds value through talks, advisory, volunteering, press or other impact activities. It is broader than "speaker": it covers any expert voice who wants to log and validate what they do.

How is an activity different from an event?

An activity is each concrete engagement of the expert (a talk, an advisory session, an interview). Events are a complementary unit to organize tickets, sessions and attendees. The core of Limini is activities and their impact.

Can I log free activities?

Yes. An activity can have value 0 (free) or an associated charge. In both cases you can measure its impact and request validation.

How does corporate validation work?

If your activity client is a company with a registered website, a contact of that company whose email uses the site domain (e.g. person@codelco.cl for codelco.cl) can validate the activity. Once validated, it is marked "validated" — a verifiable proof that your work happened and was recognized by the client.

Why can’t I use a Gmail or Hotmail address as validator?

Corporate validation requires the validator email to belong to the client company domain. Personal domains (gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc.) are not accepted as company domains, to ensure the validator truly represents the organization.

What is the public QR feedback?

Each activity can enable a public page with a QR code. You share it with the audience and receive direct feedback about the activity, on top of the client validation.

Do I have to issue a receipt for the services I provide? (Chile)

If you are taxed in Chile: yes, and you issue it yourself. The tax document is always issued by whoever provides the service, addressed to their client. Limini does not issue receipts or invoices on your behalf. If you are an individual, it is your electronic fee receipt (boleta de honorarios electrónica) and it carries no VAT. If you charge through a company, the document depends on the type of company: a professional partnership still under second category keeps issuing a fee receipt, while an SpA or an EIRL issue an invoice or receipt, taxable or exempt depending on the content of the service.

Who withholds the tax, the company or me? (Chile)

It depends on who hires you. If it is a company, it is required to withhold —15.25% in 2026— and pay it to the SII, and in March of the following year it must give you a certificate of what was withheld. If an individual hires you, there is no withholding: you receive the full fee and you are the one who declares and pays that percentage in your Formulario 29, by the 20th of the following month if you declare and pay online (the base legal deadline is the 12th). The tax is the same; what changes is who pays it in and when. Note that today a charge through Limini does not perform the withholding: if your corporate client must withhold, that part is agreed and settled outside the platform.

Is that deduction (15.25% in 2026) money I lose? (Chile)

No. The withholding and the provisional payment on professional fees —a rate the law raises gradually every year— generally fund your health, pension (AFP) and Ley 21.133 insurance contributions, with exceptions, for instance if you are retired or already contribute as an employee. The remainder, if anything is left after covering your contributions and your annual tax, comes back in the annual tax return. So when there is no withholding, the amount stays pending until your Formulario 29 the following month: spending it does not leave a debt with the SII, it leaves a year without contributions.
