< 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.
