Spanish term or phrase: Iniciación/inicio de actividades
Hi!

I'm translating some legal documents from Chile to English, but I have not been able to find an approrpiate translation for this process. It refers to a registration of a person or company in Servicio de Impuestos Internos (Internal Taxing Service). This allows a natural person or a company to issue bills, pay taxes, and so on, but every option I've found so far implies "beginning of operations", and this is not the exact meaning.

I'm thinking about something like "Registration in the Internal Taxing Service", but I'd like to know if there is a better option.

Thanks in advance!
