Invoicing and electronic documents

SIFEN (Sistema Integrado de Facturación Electrónica Nacional)

The national electronic invoicing system run by the DNIT. Validation by SIFEN decides whether a document is accepted for tax purposes. Paraguay does not use Peppol.

e-Kuatia and e-Kuatia'i

The two ways to issue in SIFEN. e-Kuatia is for medium and large taxpayers, which build their own software to the DNIT technical specification. e-Kuatia'i is a free solution for small issuers with a single issuance point.

KuDE

The printed or digital representation of an electronic document. An issuer must provide it when the buyer is not an electronic issuer; the buyer can check the document with its CDC code or QR code.

In Paraguay the obligation is personal: the DNIT names taxpayers by RUC in resolution annexes, each group with its own start date. Check whether a taxpayer appears in a designation resolution, or in the DNIT's published list of electronic issuers, before assuming paper invoices are still allowed; see the e-Kuatia page. Suppliers to the State must issue electronically regardless of group.

SIFEN validates every DTE, and that validation decides its tax effect. Paraguay has no Peppol Authority, so a Peppol document does not replace a SIFEN DTE. Small issuers can use the free e-Kuatia'i solution. Larger ones build or buy software that follows the DNIT technical documentation; see SIFEN information.
