Zambia's Tax Transformation

Smart Invoice System by ZRA

Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) introduced the Smart Invoice electronic billing system. It is a significant move towards modernizing tax compliance and improving revenue collection, replacing the existing Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) and expanding to cover multiple taxes and levies. This new system aims to modernize tax compliance and improve revenue collection by enabling real-time data transmission to the ZRA. Businesses must prepare by upgrading their systems, training staff, and ensuring compliance with the new regulations. The Smart Invoice system will streamline invoicing, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency, with ZRA supporting a smooth transition.

A Robust and Trusted Solution for E-Invoicing in Zambia

The businesses must register for the Smart Invoice system and undergo validation by the ZRA. The implementation process includes several crucial steps:
Taxpayers must register and validate their use of the Smart Invoice system with the ZRA.
Download the Virtual Sales Data Controller (VSCD) module to enable data transmission between business ERP systems and the Smart Invoice server.
Send all electronic documents to the VSCD for real-time transmission to the ZRA, where they will be validated with a unique identifier code (Mark ID) and a QR code.

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) rolled out the Smart Invoice system to modernize tax reporting and enhance VAT compliance throughout the nation. This innovative e-invoicing platform takes the place of traditional Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) by validating each transaction in real time. Now, all businesses registered for VAT are required to use this system.

All business registered for VAT in Zambia, whether it’s a large corporation or a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), must adhere to the Smart Invoicing rules. This includes companies in retail, wholesale, services, fuel distribution, and any other sectors involved in B2B or B2C sales.

Businesses can create Smart Invoices through several channels, including:

  • The online Smart Invoice portal
  • A mobile or desktop solution provided by ZRA
  • Direct integration with ERP platforms like Sage X3 or Sage 300 using the Virtual Sales Data Controller (VSCD) for automatic data transmission to ZRA.

Greytrix Africa simplifies the process of linking Sage ERP software (Sage X3, Sage 300) to the ZRA Smart Invoice network. By using certified APIs, our integration automates invoice submission, validation, and acknowledgment, ensuring smooth communication with ZRA without disrupting your daily operations.

Businesses that don’t comply with Smart Invoicing requirements may face penalties, audits, and delays in claiming input VAT.
