Finance Ministry Announces Launch of New Electronic Invoicing Platform (Effective March 30 2026)
Representatives of the Ministry of Finance announced that, on 30 March 2026, a new platform will be launched to simplify the enrollment of service providers in the electronic invoicing (e‑invoicing) system.
During a hearing on Thursday before the Finance and Budget Committee of the Assembly of People's Representatives (ARP), senior ministry officials highlighted that the cost of electronic invoicing remains lower than paper invoicing, while delivering major benefits in document archiving and administrative simplification.
Key Points Discussed
-
Adaptation for liberal professions
The ministry clarified that the system has been customized for the specific needs of liberal professions through the issuance of fee notes (honoraires). Technical and material support will be provided to entities still using paper to ensure a smooth transition to digital invoicing. -
Financial performance and tax equity
The data flow generated by e‑invoicing will enable tax services to conduct the necessary audits, guaranteeing fiscal fairness and strengthening state revenues. -
Digital transformation as a tax‑evasion lever
Speakers emphasized that digitalisation is an essential tool in the fight against tax evasion and the informal economy. -
Legal obligation and awareness campaigns
Participation in the e‑invoicing system is a legal requirement for taxpayers. The ministry has already carried out several awareness campaigns to inform stakeholders.
Background and Outlook
- The e‑invoicing system was introduced voluntarily in 2016.
- Ministry officials now consider it imperative to expand its performance to curb tax fraud, reduce the informal sector, and ensure transaction transparency.
- Enhancing e‑invoicing is expected to optimize public revenue mobilization and improve overall fiscal governance.
“Digital transformation is not just a modernization effort; it is a decisive lever to protect the public treasury and promote fair competition,” said a senior finance official during the session.
The upcoming platform aims to make the transition to electronic invoicing seamless, cost‑effective, and compliant with the latest regulatory standards, reinforcing the government’s commitment to a transparent, efficient, and digitally empowered tax system.
