• Guidance: For a covered Nicaraguan taxable operation, the reviewed Law 822 and regulation require a manual or electronic invoice/document, IVA expressly and separately unless DGI authorises another method, and the purchaser's RUC in the listed tax-credit/collector/withholding contexts. The regulated particulars include unit price, total before IVA, applicable discount, and the tax or exemption reason; buyer name and RUC are material for DGI IVA/ISC credit.Evidence NI_LCT_ASSEMBLY, NI_LCT_REGULATION_GAZETTE, NI_DGI_VAT_CREDIT_NOTICE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
• Guidance: Law 822's reviewed text provides a four-year period for tax information, subject to prescription, interruption, later amendments and any longer customs, employment, sector or dispute hold. Cancelled documents retain originals and duplicates marked ‘anulado’ under the reviewed regulation.Evidence NI_LCT_ASSEMBLY, NI_LCT_REGULATION_GAZETTE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
• Guidance: DGI's current range-reporting process distinguishes physical and computerized invoice branches, series, used ranges and individually reported cancellations; cash-register/computer-ticket use is separately authorised. This local preview does not authorise ranges, operate a DGI fiscal system, submit used/cancelled ranges or create a DGI-authorised electronic artifact.Evidence NI_LCT_REGULATION_GAZETTE, NI_DGI_INVOICE_RANGE_NOTICE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
