Taxes and Regulations

Uruguay

Rates

For all requests involving transactions in Uruguay, it is mandatory to include an object called rates. This object allows specifying a particular tax rate through two properties. The key property identifies the tax name—in Uruguay, this corresponds to the IVA (Value Added Tax), so the value must be "iva". The value property indicates the percentage of the applied tax rate, expressed as a numeric value.

Uruguay has the following main IVA categories:

  • Standard: 22%
  • Reduced: 10%
  • Exempt: 0%

The value should reflect the appropriate rate based on the transaction, although other values may also be declared when applicable, such as promotional rates or tax benefits.

Example with a Standard category value:

"rates": [
  {
    "key": "iva",
    "value": 22.0
  }
]

Regulation Code

For all requests involving transactions in Uruguay, it is mandatory to include the regional_regulation_code field to ensure the correct application of regional regulations during processing. The following law codes are currently supported:

  • "17934": applies to both credit and debit cards
  • "19210": applies to debit cards only

If the value provided corresponds to one of these recognized codes, the corresponding discount or special treatment will be applied during post-processing, as defined by the processing rules.

Example:

"regional_regulation_code": "17934"
