Lesotho is in the early stages of developing an e-invoicing system to enhance tax transparency and improve compliance. The government is working toward introducing electronic invoicing as part of its broader tax modernization strategy.
Businesses are encouraged to prepare for the transition to e-invoicing, which will help streamline financial reporting, reduce tax evasion, and improve overall efficiency.
