QR technology on fixed plates
Ricela Spraus said that Internal Revenue intends to implement the QR code on fixed plates.
“We are working on a project to improve technology in sheet metal in a general sense… it is a project that is still on the table,” he pointed out. “We have to follow best international practices because our plates are outdated in terms of safety and technology. We understand that as a country we must embark on projects of this type for issues including security that we are experiencing, ”she said.
