Electronic Invoicing Uruguay
In Uruguay, electronic invoices are known as Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), Electronic Tax Receipts. Dirección General Impositiva (DGI) is the tax authority that manages transmitting, receiving, and preserving e-invoices.
The DGI introduced e-invoicing mandate for Business-to-Business (B2B) gradually, and set out a schedule to determine when and what types of companies and taxpayers should begin issuing e-invoicing. The timeline began in 2016 and was due to end in 2019. As of 1 December, 2020, Uruguay’s regulation requires companies that invoice more than 305,000 UI (approx. EUR 6.500) to create an electronic invoice, CFE.
To participate in the CFE system, taxpayers must first register with DGI and meet tax requirements. An electronic signature and validation by the DGI is required before sending and must include the bar code. A number is issued for each invoice and reported to the DGI. Once the receipt is received, the invoice can be sent to the recipient.
