Mandate Overview

The mandate

Peru operates a mature mandatory e-invoicing regime managed by the Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria (SUNAT). Comprobantes de Pago Electrónicos became mandatory from October 1, 2014 for large taxpayers, with phased extensions reaching universal coverage of all VAT taxpayers by 2022. Peru runs a distinctive OSE (Operador de Servicios Electrónicos) clearance model where private SUNAT-certified providers handle authorization on behalf of the tax authority — a unique architecture that distributes clearance load across the OSE ecosystem.

FAQ

Common questions

When does Peruvian e-invoicing apply to my company?

All Peruvian VAT-registered businesses have been universally required to issue Comprobantes de Pago Electrónicos since June 2022. The mandate covers all B2B, B2C, B2G transactions. Smaller taxpayers under régimen MYPE are also in scope.

What is an OSE and is it required?

An Operador de Servicios Electrónicos is a private, SUNAT-certified entity that performs e-invoice clearance on behalf of SUNAT. Issuers can choose to clear directly through SUNAT (SEE-SOL) or through an OSE — most enterprises use an OSE for higher SLA and integration support.
