Invoicing notes for Argentina
Factura type matters
Type A invoices are for VAT-registered buyers, type B for final consumers — using the wrong one causes rejections.
Perceptions and retentions
Large clients may withhold taxes, so the net received can differ from the invoiced total.
Invoicing systems
Authorized control codes (CAE) are issued through approved electronic invoicing providers.
