Question 1

What is the equivalent of Colombia's DIAN or Mexico's SAT in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

The Dirección General Impositiva, the DGI. It is the Uruguayan tax authority, the equivalent of Colombia's DIAN or Mexico's SAT: it issues the RUT, the Registro Único Tributario, and the Certificado único. Its social security counterpart is the Banco de Previsión Social, the BPS, which issues the Certificado común.

Question 2

Which documents should you request from a Uruguayan supplier?

Accepted Answer

The document pair that defines supplier onboarding in Uruguay is the DGI Certificado único and the BPS Certificado común. Banks require them to open a business account and corporate clients require them before contracting. Both have a validity period, so control does not end on onboarding day: you have to verify they remain current.

Question 3

Does Egixia connect to the DGI and the BPS?

Accepted Answer

The portal manages the request, the upload, the validity and the expiry of the DGI Certificado único and the BPS Certificado común, and keeps traceability of every version of the document. Validation against external sources via API is enabled per project, according to the client's policies.

Question 4

Does adding Uruguay force me to rebuild the portal I already have in another country?

Accepted Answer

No. What changes from one country to another is the document package required from the supplier, not the approval flow or the users. Uruguay is enabled as one more configuration on top of the existing deployment, with per-module licensing, and the rollout advances in phases: first the country already running, then the ones that join.

Question 5

How long does it take to enable Uruguay if the portal is already running?

Accepted Answer

When the portal already runs in another country of the group, enabling Uruguay is configuration: the Uruguayan document package, the local users and the Uruguayan peso as the operation currency. Implementation happens in weeks, not months.

Question 6

What about electronic invoicing in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

Uruguay has the electronic tax receipt and the DGI authorizes electronic invoicing providers. In the portal, the receipt uploaded by the supplier stays linked to its purchase order and to its document file, together with its current certificates. Validation against external sources via API is enabled per project, according to the client's policies.

Question 7

Does the RUPE apply to my operation?

Accepted Answer

The RUPE is the Registro Único de Proveedores del Estado and it applies to contracting with the Uruguayan State. If your operation buys for a private company, the relevant framework is the corporate one: each supplier's DGI Certificado único and BPS Certificado común. Egixia is oriented to corporate purchasing.
