Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of electronic invoicing on tax compliance among companies with tax domicile in Metropolitan Lima during the year 2024. A quantitative approach was used, based on a non-experimental applied design with a descriptive-correlational scope. The survey technique was applied to a sample of 413 public accountants belonging to companies under the General, MYPE Tax, and Special Income tax regimes. The findings indicated that electronic invoicing has a significant influence on tax compliance, accounting for 12% of its variation. It is concluded that there is a favorable effect on the reduction of internal and external costs for companies, as well as a moderate influence on the increase in monthly sales subject to VAT. This suggests that electronic invoicing favors improved administrative efficiency and tax compliance in the Lima business environment.
