< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Zimbabwe is working towards the adoption of e-invoicing to improve tax compliance and financial transparency. The government is gradually introducing digital invoicing requirements for businesses, particularly those registered for VAT.
The transition to e-invoicing will help businesses automate tax reporting, reduce fraud, and improve operational efficiency.
Regulatory authority
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) oversees Zimbabwe’s e-invoicing implementation.
E-invoicing requirements
E-invoicing is expected to become mandatory for VAT-registered businesses as part of Zimbabwe’s digital tax reforms.
Accepted invoice formats
Invoices will be issued in XML format, in alignment with international e-invoicing standards.
Transmission channels
Invoices will be submitted through a government-approved e-invoicing system once fully implemented.
Digital signatures
Digital signatures may be required for authentication and fraud prevention.
Archiving requirements
Invoices must be stored for at least five years under Zimbabwean tax laws.
