Regulation covers issuance of B2B e-Invoices, e-Receipts (B2C), and also debit and credit notes. Generated electronic documents submitted through the EIS platform in JSON format. Point to be considered is submission date after issuance date, taxpayers have 3 days to submit close to real-time reporting.
