< Back to E-Invoicing Overview

Chad has been working towards the implementation of e-invoicing as part of its tax reform strategy. The government aims to introduce digital invoicing to enhance transparency, reduce fraud, and improve tax collection.

The move toward e-invoicing is expected to help businesses automate their invoicing processes, improve financial reporting, and ensure tax compliance. While there is no official mandate yet, businesses should prepare for a phased transition to digital invoicing.

Regulatory authority

The Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) is responsible for e-invoicing implementation in Chad.

E-invoicing requirements

E-invoicing is not yet mandatory but is expected to be introduced gradually, starting with VAT-registered businesses.

Accepted invoice formats

Invoices will be issued in XML format, aligning with Chad’s evolving tax regulations.

Transmission channels

Invoices will be submitted through a government-authorized platform once e-invoicing is officially implemented.

Digital signatures

Digital signatures may be required in future regulations to ensure invoice integrity and prevent fraud.

Archiving requirements

Invoices must be archived for at least five years under tax regulations.

How B2B e-invoicing works in Chad

Businesses that transition to e-invoicing will generate invoices digitally, validate them through an official platform, and issue them to customers.

How B2G e-invoicing works in Chad

Government suppliers will be required to submit invoices electronically for validation before payments are processed.
