- North Macedonia will require all VAT-registered domestic and foreign businesses to use a real-time e-invoicing (e-Faktura) system for nearly all B2B, B2G, and some B2C transactions.
- Invoices must be electronically submitted, digitally signed, and approved by the tax authority via a central platform to be legally valid; paper and PDF invoices will no longer be accepted from October 1, 2026.
- The system launches with a pilot phase on January 1, 2026, and becomes fully mandatory on October 1, 2026, with no official grace period.
- Non-compliance, late transmission, or incorrect data can result in significant fines ranging from €300 to €10,000.
- Businesses must archive their own electronic copies of invoices, even though they are stored in the government system.
