Togo sets legal basis for certified e-invoicing and future tax data transmission
- Togo’s 2026 Finance Law establishes a framework for the Certified Electronic Invoice, allowing the tax administration to create a national e-invoicing infrastructure for real-time data transmission of transaction information.
- The Certified Electronic Invoice encompasses all electronically created, transmitted, received, and archived invoices that comply with legal standards, while the standardized paper invoice will remain in use until the e-invoicing system is fully implemented.
- All taxpayers engaged in transactions that trigger tax liability must issue a Certified Electronic Invoice, with further regulations forthcoming to provide clarity on implementation timelines, formats, and data transmission requirements.
