- Uganda’s Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS) dramatically increased VAT compliance by approximately 150%, demonstrating how real-time electronic invoicing and validation can transform tax collection in emerging economies.
- The success stemmed from mandating large taxpayers to integrate directly and validating invoices at the point of transaction, giving tax authorities immediate supply chain visibility and significantly reducing inflated input VAT claims and negative VAT balances.
- Uganda’s EFRIS model highlights the effectiveness of real-time validation, the strategic benefit of initially targeting large taxpayers, and its potential as a blueprint for other countries seeking rapid and measurable improvements in tax compliance through digital reform.
