El Salvador accounting, fully compliant from day one.
NIT and NRC partner fields, an El Salvador chart of accounts, IVA taxes and fiscal positions, plus an itemized compliance coverage catalog you can hand straight to your auditor.
The problem
Businesses running Odoo in El Salvador cannot legally invoice or keep compliant books out of the box. Every invoice and partner record needs Salvadoran tax identifiers, the correct IVA and withholding taxes, and a chart of accounts that matches national accounting norms — without it, finance teams fall back on manual work or costly bespoke customization.
The solution
A complete El Salvador localization: NIT/NRC on every partner, a ready IVA and withholding tax set, an El Salvador chart of accounts, and fiscal positions that apply the right treatment automatically. An itemized compliance coverage catalog states, in plain language, exactly which obligations the module satisfies — so nothing is left to guesswork.
Everything El Salvador compliance requires
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
NIT & NRC on every partner
Customer and supplier records carry the Numero de Identificacion Tributaria and Numero de Registro de Contribuyente, with format validation and a contributor-type classification.
El Salvador chart of accounts
A ready six-digit chart of accounts, loadable per company, with the accounts required to post VAT, withholding, and perception correctly from day one.
IVA 13% sale & purchase tax
Standard 13% value-added tax pre-configured for both sales (debito fiscal) and purchases (credito fiscal), posting to the correct accounts automatically.
VAT withholding & perception
1% VAT withholding (Retencion IVA) and 1% VAT perception (Percepcion IVA) taxes for designated withholding agents and qualifying sales.
Income tax withholding (Renta)
A 10% Retencion Renta tax for qualifying services, applied and posted alongside VAT so bills reflect the correct net payable.
Automatic fiscal positions
Final Consumer, Exempt, and Export fiscal positions apply the right tax treatment automatically based on the transaction and partner, preventing manual errors.
Compliant invoicing
Customer invoices compute Salvadoran taxes automatically from fiscal positions and product taxes, so every document is legally valid the moment it is created.
Compliance coverage catalog
An in-product, itemized statement of exactly which Salvadoran obligations are covered, each tagged with its legal reference and coverage status.
Guided settings onboarding
A dedicated El Salvador Localization section in Accounting Settings for company NIT/NRC and one-click access to the compliance catalog and support commitment.
