Every time you carry out a purchase you must demand the payment voucher that is called "Boleta de Venta" (Ticket of Sale). Another type of voucher of payment is denominated "Factura" (Invoice), which is only extended to certain type of Peruvian taxpayers.

The services of restaurants and hotels have in addition a Service tax being the rate of 10%.
