Electronic Invoicing in Mexico
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Mexico ?
Electronic invoices are mandatory in Mexico, which has adopted a clearance model.
The digital tax invoice scheme, Comprobante Fiscal Digital (CFD), should use the internet digital tax invoice scheme (CFDI) to issue electronic invoices in a specific XML format (CFDI XML). This process is regulated by Mexico's Tax Administration Service SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria).
The Mexican Government set that the use of CDFI (Digital Tax Receipts over the Internet), in its new version (4.0) is mandatory from 1st April 2023.
All electronic invoices must be digitally signed using SAT assigned certificates, and be processed via private operators, Proveedor Autorizado de Certificación (PAC), that have been certified by the SAT. Invoice delivery is via email (CFDI XML + PDF) or CDFI XML only, and issuers must digitally sign all invoices. A unique system encrypts the “original string” data and is made up of a series of characters extracted from defined fields.
An additional electronic signature called a “Stamp” must be generated by the PAC after the invoice content and structure has been validated.

Archiving
It is mandatory for both the issuer and the recipient to preserve original electronic documents for a minimum of 5 years.
There is a supplementary archiving directive called NOM151, which allows those who comply to attribute greater legal guarantees to the archived e-document and use it as evidence before third parties.
