The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) of the Dominican Republic has published an update to the e-CF Technical Report v1.0, a key document for companies operating with electronic invoicing (e-CF).

This update introduces important changes in the handling of gift vouchers and contingency scenarios, making it essential to understand its impact to ensure tax compliance and avoid errors in invoice issuance.

What is the e-CF Technical Report v1.0?

The e-CF Technical Report v1.0 is the official guide that defines the guidelines for implementing the Electronic Tax Receipt (e-CF) in the Dominican Republic.

This document includes:

  • Types of electronic tax receipts
  • Technical structure (XML / XSD)
  • Interaction with the DGII
  • Printed representation and online validation
  • Contingency management

In summary, it is the standard that companies must follow to properly comply with electronic invoicing regulations.

Key Updates

  1. Gift Voucher or Gift Certificate Treatment

The DGII introduces new specifications that directly impact how these transactions must be recorded:

  • The billing indicator “Non-billable” must be used.
  • The invoice description must include:
    “Gift Voucher” or “Gift Certificate”.
  • At the time of redemption:
    • An e-CF type E32 must be issued.
    • The delivered goods or services must be recorded.
    • Applicable taxes must be applied.
  • The voucher or certificate must be reflected as a payment method (fully or partially).
  1. Updates to Contingency Operations

The different contingency scenarios are clarified, along with how to proceed in each case:

Connectivity Failure Contingency

  • Offline issuance of e-CF
  • Submission to the DGII within 72 hours

Technical Failure Contingency

  • Use of authorized non-electronic tax receipts
  • Maximum duration: 15 calendar days

DGII System Contingency

  • Storage of generated e-CFs
  • Submission once communication is restored
  1. Validity and Regularization of Tax Receipts
  • Non-electronic tax receipts issued during contingency will be fiscally valid, provided the situation has been reported to the DGII.
  • Subsequently, within a maximum period of 30 calendar days, the issuer must:
    • Generate and submit the corresponding e-CFs
    • Reference previously issued non-electronic tax receipts

How Does This Impact Your Business?

These changes directly affect:

  • Tax compliance
  • Proper issuance of electronic tax receipts
  • Operations under contingency scenarios
  • ERP system integrations

Failure to adapt to these updates may result in rejections, tax inconsistencies, or penalties.
