On 5 September 2024, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) General Directorate of Taxes announced the launch of the first phase of its e-invoicing system, the Facture Normalisee, and the use of electronic fiscal devices.
This first phase will only cover companies selected according to predefined criteria. The tax authorities approved the use of dematerialised electronic fiscal devices, namely the “e-UF” for companies without billing software and the “e-MCF” for companies with such software.
In preparation for implementing the first phase, a series of training courses were conducted early in September for selected taxpayers from large and medium enterprises.
Further details regarding the expansion of the system to other taxpayer groups have not yet been announced.
