Characteristics of the electronic invoice in Peru

The electronic invoice in Peru is called the CPE and is regulated by the SEE system. Users of this system must meet certain technical requirements and must communicate online with the Peruvian tax authority SUNAT. The phased adoption of the electronic invoice began in January 2014 and is expected to conclude in 2021 with the full incorporation of 100% of taxpayers in the SEE system.
