< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Venezuela has introduced mandatory e-invoicing requirements as part of its tax reform initiatives. The government has implemented an electronic invoicing system that integrates businesses directly with the national tax authority to improve compliance, increase transparency, and combat tax evasion.
While the e-invoicing rollout has been gradual, businesses across key industries are now required to issue electronic invoices for tax reporting. The system is expected to be expanded further as digital tax compliance measures continue to evolve.
