Zambia E-invoicing Solution: Smart Invoice System by ZRA

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) will implement the Smart Invoice electronic billing system starting July 1, 2024, marking a significant step towards modernizing tax compliance and enhancing revenue collection. This new system will replace the existing Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) and expand to cover multiple taxes and levies. By enabling real-time data transmission to the ZRA, the Smart Invoice system aims to streamline invoicing, reduce errors, and boost efficiency. Businesses must prepare by upgrading their systems, training staff, and ensuring compliance with the new regulations. The ZRA will support a smooth transition to this advanced billing system.

The businesses must register for the Smart Invoice system and undergo validation by the ZRA. The implementation process includes several crucial steps:
