DGI — Nicaragua e-invoicing
No Nicaragua data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Nicaragua support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.
Nicaragua's e-invoicing runs through the DGI, the Dirección General de Impuestos, which pre-authorizes every invoice before it can be delivered to the buyer.
What supporting Nicaragua would involve
| System | Factura Electrónica (DGI) |
| Authority | DGI — Dirección General de Impuestos |
| Format | A national XML schema (the DGI invoice schema). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today. |
| Transmission | Submission to the DGI platform for authorization. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today. |
Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.
- Progressive rollout by sector since 2019, now covering all businesses.
- Digital certificate required for signing.
Which catalogues a contributor would add
Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Nicaragua.
country-policy/data/ni.json— which document actions Nicaragua allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.country-identifiers/data/ni.json— which national identifier a party must carry.tax/tax-systems/data/ni.jsonandvat-rates/data/ni.json— the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.correction-routes/data/ni.json— all eleven canonical correction routes,unverifiedwhere unresearched, never omitted.b2g-routing/data/ni.json— the channel and format a Nicaraguan public buyer requires.transports/channel-policy/data/ni.json— whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Nicaragua, and from what date.archive/retention/data/ni.json— how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.
Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and
domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.
Data alone will not finish the job here: the DGI platform is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and its XML schema has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.
Want Nicaragua supported?
Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Nicaragua, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Nicaragua".
