Invoice drafting checklist for Guatemala

These are practical prompts for preparing a draft, not a declaration that every field is legally mandatory in every Guatemala transaction. Buyer type, registration, value, supply and document type can change the required fields.

Seller identity
Check the legal or trading name, address and identifiers relevant to the seller.
Buyer identity
Check which buyer name, address and tax identifiers the transaction requires.
Document reference
Use an identifiable invoice number or other reference appropriate to the document type.
Relevant dates
Record the issue, supply and payment dates that apply to the transaction.
Goods or services
Describe each line and check whether quantity, unit, classification or supply location is needed.
Tax treatment
Record the applicable tax basis, rate, amount, exemption or reverse-charge note after verifying it.
Amounts and currency
Check line amounts, adjustments, net, tax and payable totals and identify the currency.
Payment and delivery details
Add the agreed payment instructions and confirm whether a structured format or delivery channel is required.

What IVA rate should I use in Guatemala?
