Updated 3 months ago

What is IVA in Uruguay?

Uruguay imposes a national Value Added Tax, locally known as Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA). It applies to the sale of goods, provision of services, and imports conducted within Uruguay's territory. IVA is administered by the Dirección General Impositiva (DGI), which operates under Uruguay's Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Kintsugi supports IVA compliance for businesses operating in Uruguay, covering nexus monitoring, registration, tax calculation, and filing.

Who Does This Apply To?
