North Macedonia Launches Mandatory E-Invoicing: Digital Tax Transformation Begins October 2026

  • North Macedonia’s e-Faktura system launches with a live pilot on January 1, 2026, and becomes mandatory for all VAT-registered B2B and B2G transactions on October 1, 2026.
  • The system uses a centralized Continuous Transaction Control (CTC) “Clearance” model, requiring real-time tax authority validation before invoices are legally issued.
  • Only structured XML-format e-invoices are valid; PDFs sent by email are no longer accepted as legal tax documents.
  • Compliance requirements include digital signatures, immediate transmission upon issuance, and secure 10-year archiving by taxpayers.
  • The rollout marks a significant digital transformation in North Macedonia, moving from planning to implementation, with special support for SMEs and a phased approach leading to full adoption.
