- The Republic of the Congo will roll out its Certified Electronic Invoicing System (SFEC) in phases, with Phase 1 starting on 1 August 2026.
- Phase 1 covers large enterprises, medium-sized enterprises, oil and gas subcontractors, and all their suppliers, regardless of size or tax residence.
- Businesses whose invoicing systems are not SFEC-compatible should contact the SFEC project team for support.
- Temporary exemptions are available for prolonged system failures or other circumstances beyond the taxpayer’s control.
- If a company cannot connect via API by the deadline, it may temporarily use the eFacture online platform to issue certified e-invoices.
