- Malawi’s mandatory Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) adoption is now set for February 1, 2026, replacing the old Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs).
- The EIS is a fully digital, software-based VAT reporting framework offering real-time invoice validation and improved VAT administration.
- After February 2026, invoices from legacy EFDs will not be valid for VAT input claims, requiring all businesses to transition to EIS.
- The extension provides businesses, especially SMEs, more time to prepare and adapt to the new system, following industry feedback.
- The shift aims to strengthen VAT performance, reduce fraud, and modernize Malawi’s tax infrastructure.
