- 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.
