Any questions about ARCA?

What is ARCA and what role does it play in e-invoicing?

ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero) is Argentina's national tax and customs authority, formerly known as AFIP until November 2024. It operates the mandatory electronic invoicing system, validating and authorizing every invoice in real time before it becomes legally valid.

Is e-invoicing mandatory for all businesses in Argentina?

Yes. All registered taxpayers (whether Responsables Inscriptos or Monotributistas) must issue electronic invoices. The requirement covers B2B, B2C, and B2G transactions. There is no opt-out; every invoice must be submitted to ARCA and receive a CAE authorization code.

What is a CAE and why is it required?

The CAE (Código de Autorización Electrónico) is a 14-digit authorization code issued by ARCA that validates an invoice. It must appear on every electronic invoice along with its expiration date. Without a CAE, an invoice is not legally valid and cannot be used to claim tax deductions or VAT credits.

What invoice types exist in Argentina?

Argentina has several invoice types based on the tax status of the issuer and buyer:

  • Factura A: Issued by Responsables Inscriptos to other registered taxpayers. VAT is broken down separately.
  • Factura B: Issued by Responsables Inscriptos to final consumers or exempt entities. VAT is included in the total.
  • Factura C: Issued by Monotributistas to any customer. No VAT breakdown.
  • Factura E: Used for export operations of goods and services.

Each type also has corresponding debit notes and credit notes.

How does invoice numbering and sequencing work?

Argentine invoices use a two-part number: XXXXX-YYYYYYYY. The first part is the Punto de Venta (a 5-digit code identifying the invoicing channel), and the second is a sequential 8-digit number. The sequence must be continuous i.e. no gaps or duplicates. Each invoice type and Punto de Venta combination has its own independent sequence
