A Global Platform for e-Invoicing in Latin America
Latin America is the most advanced region for electronic invoicing. The system has become a valuable tool for improving fiscal control and reducing high rates of tax evasion. Mexico and Brazil have been on the cutting edge of this technology, with advanced e-Invoicing legislation. This success has inspired neighboring countries such as Costa Rica, Colombia and Guatemala to implement their own electronic models.
This simplifies and streamlines the sending and receipt of electronic invoices with a global provider that has the capacity for integration, syntax validation, legal validation and electronic document storage.
Characteristics of e-Invoicing in LATAM
Our international electronic invoicing platform implements specific functionalities to adapt your management and accounting systems to current requirements in the different countries where you do business.
Fiscal Control
In order to guarantee rigorous fiscal control, electronic document identification systems have been created to establish fiscal validity.
Administrative Procedures
Some countries require an application process with administrative authorities, authorization, or registration as a sender and receiver of electronic invoices.
Format
Each country's administrative authority certifies the format that must be used (usually XML), the information that must be included in the invoice, and it's submission.
Electronic Signature
This system is very common in countries that use electronic invoices. It guarantees content authenticity and integrity.
Print Format
Sometimes it is necessary to have a visual representation of an electronic document so that it can be used by recipients who do not have integrated technological solutions.
Electronic Archive
Electronic document archive (both for the sender and the recipient) is often mandatory for a certain period of time.

Electronic Invoicing in Latin America: Gaining Fiscal Control
Chile, Mexico and Brazil pioneered the use of electronic invoicing. Its use is extensive in these countries, and they are beginning to advance in other fiscal policies, such as electronic accounting.
The goal is to simplify the job of the taxpayer and to reduce costs. Due to the nature of the system, taxpayer invoicing and other transactions are constantly monitored. This helps to prevent tax evasion. Electronic invoicing systems allow fiscal authorities to:
To monitor taxpayer transactions as accurately as possible through the amount invoiced in business operations.
Maintain permanent auditing of taxpayer purchases and sales and their impact on industry models.
Know the details of the taxes a business must pay. It is the perfect tool to fight tax evasion.
Advantages of e-Invoicing
Fiscal Advantages
The document is subject to various legal and fiscal controls because it is a mechanism for tax collecting.
Operational Efficiency
Automated management (issuing, sending and receiving) and integration of accounting and account management systems means time reductions, elimination of human errors and greater efficiency.
Cost Reduction
The cost difference between sending a paper invoice and an electronic invoice can be as high as 90%. There is no need to print, send, or generate receipts. This guarantees significant savings.
