Why should I bill with a local company like BigCheese?
If you are paying AWS directly by international credit card, you may be missing out on important benefits.
With Smart Billing, by billing through BigCheese – a local company in Uruguay and Peru – you gain access to key advantages:
- In Uruguay, AWS expenses are 100% deductible from IRAE, with a current rate of 25%, which allows the benefit to be applied directly at the time of paying the tax.
- In Peru, you can deduct the AWS expense from the corporate income tax (30%), generating a relevant tax saving by invoicing with a local company.
- In Uruguay, you also avoid the 3% commission for international card payments, which is replaced by a 2% administration fee for our billing management. (In Peru, this commission does not apply for card payments).
- Personalized attention from your country: you will always be attended by real people, from Uruguay or Peru, ready to help you in your language and in your time zone.
Did you know that you could be leaving money on the table?
