Document format and locale facts for Argentina

Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Document vocabulary and checks

Core Argentine comprobante classes and general Annex II particulars, CUIT/tax-status identity, ten-year accounting-document retention baseline, CAE legal-effect boundary and current 2026–2027 amendments are reviewed from ARCA and official legislation. This local Factura is not an authorised comprobante: point-of-sale setup, CAE/QR requests, electronic signing, storage and ARCA transmission are not implemented. Class-specific exceptions and transaction-specific IVA treatment remain separate checks.

• Required when applicable: The applicable Argentine comprobante class and transaction determine the final layout. General Resolution 1415 Annex II requires core issuer and document data including legal name, business address, CUIT, tax status, consecutive numbering and the other recipient, transaction and IVA particulars prescribed for classes A, B, C or E. ARCA's current guidance directs issuers to that annex and distinguishes invoices from receipts, remittances, estimates and work orders.Evidence AR_ARCA_GENERAL_RECEIPTS, AR_RG_1415_CURRENT · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Guidance: Argentina's ARCA electronic invoice is a digital legally equivalent invoice operated through authorised electronic-comprobante channels. The authority identifies invoice, receipt, credit-note and debit-note classes, buyer identity conditions, and electronic authorisation (CAE) workflows. This generator neither requests CAE nor transmits an authorised electronic comprobante.Evidence AR_ARCA_EINVOICE, AR_ARCA_INVOICE_DATA, AR_RG_4291_CURRENT · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Required when applicable: An electronic comprobante has no fiscal effect against third parties until ARCA grants a CAE. The electronic document made available to the customer must contain the CAE, comprobante-type code, issue date, and the other applicable data required by the invoicing regime.Evidence AR_RG_4291_CURRENT · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Guidance: Resolution 5866/2026 amended the general invoice regime from 1 July 2026 and phases additional sector obligations through March 2027. Applicability depends on issuer, operation and effective date; this generator does not make that determination.Evidence AR_RG_5866_2026 · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
• Required when applicable: General Resolution 1415 requires issued and received comprobantes and related registers to be archived under the federal tax-procedure retention rule. Separately, Civil and Commercial Code article 328 establishes a ten-year baseline for accounting books, records and supporting documentation unless a special law requires longer; document-specific exceptions can differ.Evidence AR_RG_1415_CURRENT, AR_CIVIL_CODE_RETENTION · reviewed 2026-07-19 · review by 2027-01-19 · automation advisory only
