Burkina Faso launches the Certified Electronic Invoice System

On January 6, 2026, the Ministry of Economy and Finance launched the Certified Electronic Invoice (FEC) system, facilitating real-time invoice clearance through a government platform, with mandatory implementation set for July 1, 2026.
The FEC system aims to modernize tax invoicing by enabling real-time transaction monitoring and digital data reporting, requiring taxpayers to use certified systems for invoicing, which must include security features like unique authentication and QR codes.
The first phase targets domestic companies with annual turnovers of 50 million XOF (approximately 76,200 EUR) or more, while exemptions apply to certain foreign companies and government invoicing. Non-compliance penalties include fines based on the amount of compromised VAT, with the mandatory implementation date approaching in July 2026.
