Filing of COA Reports

Purpose

In Peru, the authorities may require you to provide them with information about all the purchases that you have made that are liable to tax. If so, they cross-check this information with the information submitted by other businesses to ensure that it is correct. This procedure is known as confrontación de operaciones autodeclaradas or COA.

Process Flow

From the Internet, you download the software provided by the authorities, Sistema Informatico COA.

You create the required files using the COA report.

You have to create four files, one for each of the following types of data:

Vendor master data
Payment-related documents (for example, invoices)
Credit and debit memos
Import documents (in Spanish, pólizas de importación, documents from customs that accompany invoices for imported goods)

You process these files using Sistema Informatico COA, and then enter manually any documents that the system did not include in the files.
You send the results to the authorities via the Internet.
