Echegaray in Digitization
Council: "The Electronic Invoice is a state policy"
In the framework of the Conference on Electronic Invoice and Scanning Documentary hosted by the Economic Press Review at the headquarters of our Board, the Federal Public Revenue Administrator, Dr. Ricardo Echegaray, explained where the AFIP is aimed at the implementation strategy of the electronic invoice and document scanning in our country.
Dr. Echegaray noted not only his feelings but his belief that the Electronic Invoice (FE) and the digitization of documents is part of a state policy is independent of time, government is part of technological progress .
Dr. Echegaray used his exhibition to discuss the five steps that are launched from the collecting agency for a very short time and then are being implemented and to inform other five are under consideration.
The five that are already being implemented are:
1. Electronic Invoice for export operations
2. Electronic Invoice pair bond insurance
3. Digital Signature Grain Contracts for
4. Prosecutors Drivers
5. Traceability of cattle
informed Dr. Echegaray is now being incorporated in exports, but now services health plans are issuing vouchers to people with FE ideal existence, television transmission via cable and satellite access service Internet with monthly subscription, mobile services, transportation services flow, security services, cleaning, general service and related advertising, construction, improvement, repair, maintenance, remodeling, also professional services when billed annually more than $ 600,000, all products available today, lack the framework of obligation, but where is going the AFIP. In
Exports have been working hard with the Chamber of Exporters of Argentina (CERA) in a program that includes the current optional use of electronic billing (FE), but will begin to be mandatory from 1 December for a particular group of large exporters and is expected in principle that from 1 March 2010 all foreign trade operators who export will have to use the system of FE.
are talking about a turnover in the last year was the order of U $ S 64,000 million. The fundamental fact that benefits to the exporter with this system is that you miss having to take the invoice to Customs. It becomes a document is captured electronically. Another salient fact-that no bill is common, and that is fiscal control, is that the FE will have consolidated information on what will be the final destination of the goods and what the invoice. If an operation is "triangulated" (on which there is no legal objections), what matters to the AFIP is the value at which an export documents in Argentina is equivalent to that documented (with a reasonable accommodation, logically) in the country of import. And who are exporting to report to the AFIP exactly what is billed is what you get and enter the country. Another fact
outgoing FE everything that is going forward is to work with encryption. The AFIP obtains information from the person issuing the invoice, to whom he sells and the final price, but has no content. With the new FE, to the extent that products are encoded with bar codes, is going way to identify the unit prices, that is effectively in the day how much you're selling a product, where in the country and have that real-time information.
In the second half of his statement, the Federal Manager presented as a premiere five new measures which have not yet launched, but when they are put up "help improve the quality of tax work in which means the tax formalization of many sectors. " Future actions include:
• Electronic Transfer Certificate (CETA): An instrument developed in conjunction with the Registry of Motor Vehicle Ownership which will make mandatory the load on Internet information of the buyer of used cars, replacing the current 381 paper form. In this first stage will include operations worth over $ 50,000. Subsequently, operations reach more than $ 40,000 and a third stage to over $ 30,000. Upon completion of the sale, this information is included in the domain transfer form. Electronic Transfer Certificate Automotive will provide transparency to the system, it will record the market of buying and selling used cars, fighting the black market.
• Imports. Establishing the mandatory inclusion of importers to electronic billing system: The new electronic tools enable real-time record store selling imported products in the domestic market.
As a result, importers will simplify your administrative process and information can cross the AFIP for detecting irregularities in the supply chain, improving control over the billions of dollars of merchandise entering the country annually.
• Hotels. Another activity that is in addition to electronic invoicing. Operations will reach sales by hotels, agents, brokers, retailers and individuals operating on the Internet.
Having information in real time, the AFIP will substantially improve the quality of management information across billing systematized face surprise inspections.
• Exempt Organizations. New records with automatic renewal:
organizations exempt from income tax as foundations, associations, cooperatives and mutuals are enrolled in a registry that certifies them as such. Since in some cases this record has an expiration date, you must manage the renewal periodically. Registration will be implemented with automatic renewal, reduce red tape and delays in tax assessment.
• Tobacco Industry. Computerisation of the activity:
In the framework of the implementation of tools for the traceability of agricultural production in Argentina, will implement a new record for collectors of snuff that will replace the current system in place for over 70 years.
Through the Internet, collectors may submit to the AFIP registration based production, prices and quantities of their operations. And receive the authorization code and permission to snuff transport.
• recycling industry. Standardization of informal providers:
A As for industries that use recycled supplies such as paper, plastic and metals. The AFIP will launch the registration and categorization of the gatherers and industrial recyclable materials, allowing to formalize their operations. Thus, the purchasing industries may declare the purchase of inputs in a transparent and to make tax collectors retension if appropriate. In turn, will record the informal street collectors provide gatherers.
According to Dr. Echegaray, these five new measures show a general approach for the management of the AFIP: deploy more technology and combine it with more physical presence.
Finally, by projecting a video, presented the Program Matrix, which is the sum of two media-driven technology AFIP this year: the Electronic Invoice and the new generation of fiscal control.
