Scheduled Maintenance on ARCA's Billing Systems
Published: August 11, 2026 | Updated: August 13, 2026
The Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA)—Argentina's tax and customs authority—has announced a temporary interruption in its billing services due to system maintenance and upgrades. The downtime will occur on Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 00:00 to 04:00 AM (local time), lasting approximately 4 hours.
This maintenance is part of ARCA's ongoing efforts to modernize its digital infrastructure and improve service quality for taxpayers. During this window, electronic billing (facturación) services will be unavailable, which could affect businesses and individuals who need to issue invoices or receipts.
Plan Your Invoices Ahead
If you need to issue any tax documents over the weekend, consider doing so before Saturday night or wait until after 4:00 AM on Sunday. This will help you avoid delays or system errors.
