Peru mandates 18% VAT withholding by foreign digital service providers from October 2024

29 August 2024

From 1 October 2024, the Peruvian tax authority has confirmed that banks and credit card companies will be responsible for withholding VAT on payments for digital or intangible services by Peruvian consumers to non-resident suppliers.

Peru is introducing this new tax at 18% to remove the unfair advantage that non-resident companies have over resident suppliers who charge VAT on their sales. 

This will apply to many services including software, access to social networks, streaming or download of media, digital newspapers and magazines, advertising, online auctions, access to websites, and interactive training.
