8 taxes at rates of 0, 15
domestic, exempt, export, foreign_services_received, import
Periodic declarationThe form the accounts are read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.
  • NI-DGI-IVA — 13 boxes, filed month

  • day 5 of the month after the period
The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.
  • filed by hand on the administration’s portal
Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.
no profile — no obligation in law

A la fecha de este paquete ninguna norma obliga a las empresas nicaragüenses a intercambiar facturas electrónicas. La factura en Nicaragua es un documento impreso con pie de imprenta fiscal, de una imprenta autorizada por la DGI, o el que emite un sistema de facturación computarizado autorizado por la DGI conforme a la Disposición Técnica No. 09-2007 (La Gaceta No. 134 del 16 de julio de 2007, al amparo del Código Tributario, arts. 81 y 126, numeral 4): una autorización de uso de un sistema, que no es un formato estructurado ni un régimen de validación previa. La DGI declara en su Plan Estratégico Institucional 2022-2026 que desarrollará un sistema de facturación electrónica, y un proyecto de factura electrónica con financiamiento del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo se anunció en 2016: un proyecto anunciado y no legislado no cambia la palabra `none`. Este paquete no pudo leer la web de la DGI (su servidor rechaza las consultas automatizadas) y no encontró en ninguna fuente abierta una resolución que imponga la facturación electrónica; hay que reverificarlo antes de confiar en él. Nicaragua tampoco publica un código ISO 6523 para su Registro Único de Contribuyentes (RUC): party_scheme y vat_scheme quedan vacíos

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.

NI-DGI-IVAdeclaration

Free, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2132. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.

OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.
