- Uruguay uses mandatory electronic fiscal documents (CFE), and the e-Receipt/e-Ticket is the main document for B2C and final-consumer sales.
- E-Receipts replace paper receipts and must be issued by authorized taxpayers using certified XML software with required fiscal data and CAE authorization.
- Each receipt must be digitally signed to ensure issuer identity and document integrity, and customers usually receive a printed/graphic version with a QR code for verification.
- Corrections, returns, cancellations, and reductions are handled with e-Receipt credit notes; extra charges are handled with e-Receipt debit notes.
- The system gives the tax authority strong digital control, and businesses must properly issue, sign, number, report, and archive receipts in compliance.
