- Angola has mandated electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) for most goods and services, using a post-clearance validation model managed by the General Tax Administration (GTA).
- Implementation is phased: Phase 1 starts January 1, 2025, for large taxpayers (with a soft-landing period until December 31, 2025); Phase 2 covers all remaining taxpayers from October 1, 2026.
- Taxpayers must use AGT-certified software to issue invoices in JSON format via the GTA portal or REST API, requiring a GTA-issued validation code for VAT deductibility.
- The legal framework is established by Decreto Presidencial n.º 71/25 and Decreto Executivo n.º 683/25, which set requirements for software, data, and penalties.
- E-invoicing is separate from the SAF-T Angola audit regime and aims to improve real-time VAT traceability and audit efficiency.
