Mandatory migration to CFDI in 2013
For a couple of years, on demand of the Tax Administration
System (SAT), companies have had to abandon the old scheme of emission of
preprinted invoices that had been used since always, in favor of invoices
generated electronically.
From last 2012, this billing scheme became mandatory for all
companies that invoice more than 4 million pesos a year, although also some of
those that do not reach these amounts also joined the initiative, in
anticipation of the changes that were still to come.
Now, in 2013, there is still much doubt that those who are
obliged to provide electronic invoices (known as cfdi), since the change to
legislation last December established that by January of this year all
companies should do so.
The SAT, aware of the difficulties involved in this
modification for most companies, has extended the deadline until 2014, although
it is important that the necessary measures are taken to carry it out in time
and thus avoid long lines and even unnecessary fines.
The advantages of electronic invoices are multiple. On the
one hand, it saves on shipping time and delivery, as they can be dispatched
directly to the emails of customers and suppliers without the need to send a
courier or to appear personally for it. On the other hand, the storage facility
is far superior to the old accounting records that buried kilos and kilos of
old papers.
Until now, Individuals can choose to move to this system, or
keep the old printer bills, although sooner or later they will become mandatory
for them as well. In fact, starting in February 2013, companies that hire the
services of independent professionals, may choose not to hire the services of
those who cannot provide this type of tax receipts.
What is wanted to achieve with this new system is to avoid
tax evasion and thus increase contributions, as it becomes much more difficult
not to declare, because there is an electronic voucher that requires the
authorization of the SAT, as each CFDI bill With a unique stamp that cannot be
decoded or falsified.
So it is best to inform yourself and begin to carry out the
necessary procedures to anticipate the fines and surcharges that may result
from the non-application of the new tax regulations.
