Ncf

The NCF is the unique number each invoice you emit gets, so their should be as many as there are invoices emitted. If you mean RNC, it's all over the place on your dgii portal.

You have to apply for a block of numbers I think. You do this via the DGII portal, they then give you x number of NCF's that you can use. To complicate matters, every sale must have a unique number. If it's to a consumer, there is a NCCF (numero comprobante consumidor final) and this generally takes the format A0100100102xxx. If it's for a company or someone who can reclaim the ITBIS, then it is called an NCF and it takes the format A0100100101xxx, i.e. it has 102 in it for a consumer and 101 for a company.

The message that they sent you is basically saying that until you're fully registered and they have checked you, they just give you 10 NCF's and you can only use them and no more. When you are registered, to get more NCF's you just apply for more using the DGII portal. Regarding NCCF's our computer system generates these automatically and I don't think you need to apply for them, you just start at 1 and count upwards. Foreign customers as well as Dominican consumers all have an NCCF, the only people who have an NCF are companies and people who specifically ask you to give them a comprobante fiscal.

I have an excellent accountant who really understands all of this stuff and is incredibly cheap, based in Santo Domingo. She only speaks Spanish. She can get you the numbers and sort things out with DGII if you need her to, and she also knows how to file and what to file when with the DGII and TSS. PM me if you'd like her contact details.

On the portal go to 'comprobantes' on the left. If you click on 'consulta comprobantes' a new window opens which will show the (initial 10) ncf numbers assigned to your company. (Secuencia comprobante desde ............. hasta .......

On the same menu you should also be able to solicit new comprobantes (ncf's). (Solicitar comprobantes).

Thanks for helping out Paul and Mauricio.
Yes I understand now that they are supposed to be giving me 10 NCF numbers to tide me over until the processing is complete. The rest of the e-mail says it can take up to 15 working days.
Here's the thing though.
When I go where you suggest Mauricio, nothing pops up. I have tried all 4 options: Comprobantes

Parametros Comprobantes
Descarga Comprobantes
Consulta Comprobantes
Solicitar Comprobantes to no avail. The one that they are suggesting I go to: Descargo Comprobantes asks you to input two dates. It doesn't matter what two dates I input, nothing happens.

It is my belief, until someone says I am wrong, that they first want you to make sales. Then register the sales with them, then get your NCF numbers. I can't see any NCF numbers at the site.

I don't think so, I haven't made any sales test and do have 10 assigned numbers and actually never did anything to get them. I think you should insist that you have no initial 10 NCf numbers yet. Are you able to write in Spanish? If not, let me know and I'll write a short email explaining the problem you can send.

Thanks for helping out again Mauricio. I did write them back again asking for more detailed help. I told them I was presented with a date selection when I followed their steps at the site. I asked what I should put. I put in the dates they gave, and this time something a little different appeared. I clicked on 'Visualizar' and the following appeared:
RNC: 100000068-Company SRL

Type of receipt 01
No. Authorization 6123450003
From A010010010100000001
A010010010100000010
Does this look like NCF numbers I can use? If so, would I add the A0100100... numbers to the receipts?

*Yes, but only to receipts for customers that ask for a comprobante fiscal (and provide you with their RNC). The numbers by the way are exactly the same as my numbers, which i had not expected, but isn't that weird i guess. It's the combination of your RNC and the particular NCF what the DGII needs to register that company X, with his RNC, bought from you with your RNC + NCF per invoice. They use it to cross check and make sure each invoice is only used once to deduct ITBIS.*

A final customer won't deduct ITBIS or deduct the spending as cost from his revenues *so their an NCF is not used. But you probably know that. This is also why most companies tell you to ask for comprobante fiscal before invoicing, since else they have to annul an invoice for consumidor final and make a new one for consumidor fiscal (with a number in the serie of NCF).
