Legal framework for e-invoicing in Uruguay¶
Uruguay has mandated electronic invoicing under the CFE system, which applies to most businesses to promote tax transparency and streamline financial transactions. Key elements include:
Comprobante Fiscal Electrónico: A mandatory e-invoice format required for B2B, B2C, and B2G transactions, fully compliant with DGI's technical standards.
Integration with DGI: All CFE must be submitted to the DGI for validation. Upon approval, the CFE receives a unique identification code and authorization for issuance.
XML Format: Uruguay mandates the use of XML as the standard format for e-invoices, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with various systems.
Adoption Timeline: E-invoicing is mandatory for most businesses, with specific deadlines for smaller enterprises to transition into the system.
