- Launch of the FEC System: On January 6, 2026, Burkina Faso’s Ministry of Economy and Finance officially introduced the Certified Electronic Invoice (FEC) system, initiating the transition to the SECeF platform, which will become mandatory for taxpayers starting July 1, 2026, aimed at modernizing tax invoice reporting.
- Compliance Requirements: Taxpayers must utilize certified invoice issuance systems for B2C, B2B, and B2G transactions, ensuring invoices include specific security features like unique authentication and QR codes, with the initial phase applying to domestic companies with an annual turnover of XOF 50 million (approximately EUR 76,200).
- Penalties for Non-Compliance: The updated General Tax Code imposes strict penalties for FEC non-compliance, including fines for failing to issue FECs, using uncertified systems, and fraudulent documentation, with a transition period for certification and training running until June 1, 2026, before mandatory enforcement begins.
