- Zambia is planning to implement electronic invoicing to tackle VAT fraud.
- The aim is to prevent fraud through fake input invoices and only allow registered businesses to reclaim VAT.
- The measure is included in the 2024 Budget and needs to be reviewed and approved by the National Assembly.
- The implementation date is set for 1 January 2024, but technical specifications are not yet available.
- The Zambia Revenue Authority has already implemented the Tax Invoice Management System through Electronic Fiscal Devices, making it mandatory for taxpayers to use an EFD to capture all business transactions.
