Features

Integration of Taxpayers File

You can use the report Integration of Taxpayers File to upload the AFIP taxpayers file for Argentina.

In Argentina, according to General Resolution 1817/2005, the AFIP (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos) provides a file with the fiscal information for all taxpayers of Argentina. The file contains values for the Tax Number, Name, Earning Tax, VAT Status, and Simple Tax Regime (Monotributo) of taxpayers, and indicates if they are an employer and/or member of societies. You can download the file from the AFIP website and run the report to upload the file. This updates the Employee Status table, and Customer and Vendor Master Data.

The report Integration of Taxpayers File (J_1AR_SUSS_EMP_N) replaces the report Update Employer Status (J_1AR_SUSS_EMP).

For more information about this function, see Integration of Taxpayers File.

You can enter the required settings for mapping the AFIP taxpayers file using the following Customizing activities:

  • Maintain Earning Status
