Electronic invoicing is already part of everyday business for many companies in the Dominican Republic, and the DGII is making it mandatory in phases. This guide explains the basics in plain language.
This guide is for informational purposes only. Always confirm the requirements and deadlines on the official DGII page.
What is e-CF?
The electronic tax receipt (e-CF) is the electronic version of the invoice with NCF. It is issued, digitally signed and sent to the DGII in a standard format.
Who has to use it?
Law 32-23 makes electronic invoicing mandatory in phases, depending on the type of taxpayer. The DGII publishes the list of taxpayers required to adopt it and their deadlines. Check whether your company is already on it.
What does the DGII require to become an electronic issuer?
According to the DGII page:
- Be registered in the RNC.
- Have a digital certificate for tax procedures.
- Request authorization as an electronic issuer in the Virtual Office (OFV).
- Pass the certification process to start issuing e-CF.
What do you issue them with?
There are two options:
- The DGII’s free tool (Facturador Gratuito), designed mainly for professionals, individuals and micro, small and medium-sized businesses that don’t have a system.
- An electronic invoicing service provider authorized by the DGII, or your own system that meets the technical requirements.
The hardest part of the switch (and it isn’t the technology)
- Incomplete customer data: misspelled names and RNC numbers hold up issuing.
- Disorganized products and services in the system.
- Invoicing by hand what happened on the job site: every piece of data copied from paper is a potential error.
