Electronic invoicing in Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, the Ministerio de Hacienda receives your hotel’s electronic documents (comprobantes electrónicos). Hotelmente FACTURA uses the tiquete electrónico as the default document for guests, and lets you issue a factura electrónica, an electronic credit note or an export invoice when the case calls for it.

Your tax profile includes your ID type (cédula jurídica, cédula física, DIMEX or NITE), your economic activity code and your address by province, canton and district. If you issue from more than one point, each one is set up as a branch or terminal.

It invoices the payments you choose

You choose what Hotelmente FACTURA invoices: direct bookings, Hotelmente PAY, Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and other channels. It reads them from Cloudbeds and you can change the choice any time.

With Hotelmente PAY, the payment through BAC Costa Rica and the invoice come from the same record.

Documents Hotelmente FACTURA issues in Costa Rica

The default document for guests is the Tiquete electrónico. The others are chosen case by case.
