In recent years the tax authorities have detected a conflict in sending the information contained in the CFDI as;

  • Lack of precision in the requested data
  • Errors in Amounts
  • Tax calculations
  • Omission in data related to foreign trade
  • Fields that were not used, among others.

For this reason, it led to the creation of a technological guideline (since the regulatory framework remains intact), with which the information will be more detailed and specific.

This technology model is in the Anexo 20 file where there are more CFDI images:

  • Payrolls
  • Receipt of payments.

It was known that version 3.3 of that annex was effective as of July 1, 2017, however, the press release published on May 12 on the SAT portal founded by rule 2.7.1.35. From the Miscellaneous Fiscal Resolution for 2017 mentions that,

“expedir facturas con el complemento para recepción de pagos es opcional e inicia el próximo 1 de julio (sólo con la versión 3.3), pero que a partir del 1 de diciembre el uso del complemento para recepción de pagos será obligatorio.”

Some significant differences between version 3.2 and 3.3, we point out below:
