On October 21, 2026, an administrative order was published in Official Gazette No. 43,484. Though it may sound like routine office paperwork, it hits the pocketbook of everyone who sells anything in Venezuela. The order sets out the general rules and methods for issuing invoices and other tax documents, and in doing so puts an end to a symbol of local commerce: the fiscal cash register is no longer mandatory. It will no longer be required to operate or be a condition for issuing invoices; it will simply be another option.
