FacturasWin - A Free Application For Windows
What is FacturasWin? Facturas are electronic invoices generated by third-party government-approved websites. Businesses purchase a pre-determined number of facturas per calendar year. To create a factura, businesses log onto the third-party website and input fiscal information about their clients, as well as goods and services purchased. Once submitted, the factura is synced with SAT and reported as income. Unlike invoices, facturas cannot be postdated or canceled.
A factura is important for many reasons. First, it proves ownership. It is necessary for official purposes. A factura can also be used to claim capital gains deductions. Second, you may need a factura for medical insurance purposes. Many medical insurance companies require them, so you may need one for these reasons. For non-registered users, SAT offers generic facturas. If you don't have a business, you may not know when you'll need a factura.
A factura can be a hassle if you don't receive it on the day of purchase. In order to avoid this, make sure to ask for one at the time of purchase. This document will include information about the seller, such as their cedula or RFC, as well as their business address and phone number. The amount due includes the value-added tax (IVA), which is typically 16% of the sale price.
