E-invoicing mandate — El Salvador
An invoice is only valid once the tax administration has accepted it — with a clearance number, a stamp or a code that nobody but the authority can issue. A format tool alone is not enough; access to the platform is required as well.
The stages over time

El Salvador · between businesses in force unverified
El Salvador wrote electronic invoicing into its tax code in September 2022 and brought the system into operation in December 2022; a document counts as issued once the tax authority acknowledges it with a receipt seal. Which group is obliged from when is not in the law but is set by the tax authority through individual decisions — the date shown here is therefore unverified.

What Invoiceflair can do — El Salvador
El Salvador: the engine currently carries no national format of its own. Validating, viewing and converting the European formats remains available — only a country-specific mandatory format is missing.
Stated limit: Invoiceflair creates, validates and reads formats. It is not a Peppol access point and not a clearing service — it does not perform transmission to an authority's platform.
