About Peru E-Invoicing
Peru operates one of Latin America's deepest e-invoicing regimes through SUNAT's Sistema de Emisión Electrónica (SEE), mandatory for all taxpayers since 2022 with phased extensions ongoing. Invoices are issued in UBL 2.1 with SUNAT's customisations and validated in real time, receiving a Constancia de Recepción (CDR). On 30 April 2026 SUNAT published Resolution No. 000075-2026/SUNAT accelerating digitalisation: new taxpayers registering for RUC and those exiting the simplified NRUS regime must issue electronic documents from the date of registration. Taxpayers whose electronic-issuer status was not effective by 31 May 2026 are automatically considered electronic issuers from 1 June 2026. SUNAT also extended discretionary non-sanctioning for late or incorrect SIRE records until 30 June 2026. The integrated SIRE system (Sistema Integrado de Registros Electrónicos) handles electronic sales and purchase ledgers tightly coupled with e-invoicing.
