The world has witnessed how several Latin American countries have successfully adopted e-invoices to replace paper versions and close VAT gaps – the difference between the revenue governments are entitled to receive and what they de facto manage to collect.

Several jurisdictions in the region have announced their intent to introduce a new invoicing system as soon as possible. Here’s a highlight of what’s on the horizon.
