- Objective: securing invoicing and fighting tax fraud – The reform is designed to secure invoicing and combat tax fraud, reinforcing fiscal transparency and the competitiveness of Congolese businesses. UNOC, which represents 1,380 members, has formally acknowledged the reform and committed fully to the transition, describing SFEC as “a reform of secure and certified invoicing” and urging operators to take ownership of the new tool.
