Peru: Digital Taxi Booking Platforms Must Charge VAT Despite Taxi Service Exemption

• SUNAT clarified the VAT treatment for digital platforms facilitating taxi bookings in Peru.
• Taxi services themselves remain VAT-exempt.
• Digital intermediation services provided by non-resident companies are subject to VAT when used by Peruvian residents.
• The VAT exemption for taxi services does not extend to digital platforms, as they are considered independent operations.
• Digital platforms must charge VAT on their services, even if the underlying taxi ride is exempt.
