Invoicing in the Dominican Republic, as in so many other countries, has traditionally been based on manual and paper-based processes, which has generated inefficiencies, errors and high costs for companies.

Paper-based invoice management implied bulky physical storage, slow verification and validation processes, and difficulties in tracking and controlling transactions. In addition, this traditional system was susceptible to fraud and human error, which generated economic losses and fiscal problems for companies and the tax administration.

Against this backdrop, the electronic invoice emerges as a key tool to modernize and optimize the management of invoicing in the country. The electronic invoice is a digital document that meets the same legal requirements as a paper invoice, but is issued, transmitted and stored electronically. This streamlines processes, reduces costs, minimizes errors and increases transparency in commercial transactions .

The adoption of electronic invoicing in the Dominican Republic is supported by Law No. 32-23 on Electronic Invoicing (download it here), which establishes the legal and regulatory framework for its implementation. This law seeks to promote efficiency, transparency and security in invoicing, as well as to facilitate tax auditing and control by the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII).

Gradual implementation of electronic invoicing and KCP Dynamics paper

The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) has established a plan for the gradual implementation of electronic invoicing in the Dominican Republic, starting with large companies and progressively extending to all companies in the country . This gradual approach allows companies to adapt to the new requirements in an orderly and progressive manner, minimizing the impact on their operations.

Phases of implementation and mandatory implementation schedule

The implementation of electronic invoicing is divided into several phases, each one with a specific implementation schedule according to the size and type of company:
  • Phase I: Large National Taxpayers.
  • Phase II: Medium-Sized Companies.
  • Phase III: Small and Micro Companies (PYMES) and Individuals.
The mandatory schedule established by the DGII extends until 2025, giving companies time to prepare and adapt to the new requirements. It is important that companies consult the DGII’s official calendar to know the exact date on which they must start issuing electronic invoices.
