SIFEN — Paraguay e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Paraguay

No Paraguay 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 Paraguay support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Paraguay's e-invoicing runs on SIFEN, the national electronic invoicing platform operated by SET, the Secretaría de Estado de Tributación, which pre-authorizes every invoice before it can be delivered to the buyer.

What supporting Paraguay would involve​

SystemSIFEN — Paraguay's national electronic invoicing platform
AuthoritySET — Secretaría de Estado de Tributación
FormatA national XML schema (the SET/SIFEN invoice schema). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today.
TransmissionSubmission to the SET/SIFEN platform for authorization. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.
Inherited, unverified

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 2018, 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 Paraguay.

  • country-policy/data/py.json — which document actions Paraguay allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
  • country-identifiers/data/py.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
  • tax/tax-systems/data/py.json and vat-rates/data/py.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
  • correction-routes/data/py.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
  • b2g-routing/data/py.json — the channel and format a Paraguayan public buyer requires.
  • transports/channel-policy/data/py.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Paraguay, and from what date.
  • archive/retention/data/py.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.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 SET/SIFEN 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 Paraguay supported?​

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Paraguay, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Paraguay".
