In Uruguay, Communication with the Tax Authority follows a clearance-based electronic invoicing model and is two-way. Since Uruguay has a software-based fiscalization system, a digital certificate, the Certificate of Authorization for Issuance (CAE), must be acquired after obtaining the software. There are no specific hardware requirements, so retailers can use thermal printers or any other hardware equipment they choose.

Type of fiscalization: Software

Uruguay introduced the electronic fiscal document (CFE) regime in 2012. Uruguay has a software-based fiscalization system, where taxpayers issue electronic fiscal documents through the CFE system managed by the DGI.  A clearance-based electronic invoicing mechanism is used for two-way communication with the Tax Authority.
