Introduction of e-Invoicing in

Uganda

URA
  • Digital Transformation: The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) is driving the shift towards digital tax management through the implementation of the Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS), aiming to enhance efficiency and transparency.

  • Centralized System: EFRIS serves as a centralized platform for issuing and managing fiscal documents, streamlining tax processes to ensure all transactions are regulated through a controlled system.

  • Real-Time Data Transfer: The system supports real-time data transmission, allowing tax authorities to monitor and verify taxpayers' business transactions instantly, thus strengthening tax compliance.

  • Coverage of Tax Types: The regulations cover a range of tax types, including Value Added Tax (VAT), Corporate Income Tax (CIT), and Excise Duty, ensuring effective management of different types of taxable transactions.

  • Tax Mobilization Efficiency: By leveraging EFRIS, the URA aims to improve the efficiency of VAT and the productivity of CIT, addressing challenges such as under-declaration of sales and fraudulent refund claims.

  • Business Environment Improvement: The regulations aim to attract more investment by reducing the cost of compliance and improving service delivery, thus enhancing Uganda's business environment.

  • Cultural Shift in Taxation: There is an emphasis on moving from a culture of reluctance to one of willingness in tax compliance, encouraging voluntary adherence to tax regulations.

  • Security and Anti-Counterfeiting: EFRIS includes security features such as encrypted digital verification codes and Quick Response (QR) codes for each fiscal document, enhancing the security and anti-counterfeiting capabilities of tax documents.

  • Inclusiveness for Business Models: The regulations are inclusive of all business models operated in Uganda, including B2B (Business-to-Business), B2G (Business-to-Government), and B2C (Business-to-Consumer), ensuring tax compliance across different business sectors.

  • Technical Support and Flexibility: The system offers both online and offline modes, ensuring tax operations can be conducted under various network conditions, and provides technical flexibility to accommodate the needs of different taxpayers.

Key Points of Fiscal Regualtion


URA communicates through secure technology, using Web Service APIs (like SOAP or REST) or other available application service communication protocols for data exchange between the taxpayer's system and URA's system.


For verification, PKI is used to sign all requests, and AES encryption secures the data in transit, with clear and descriptive error codes in both requests and responses to assist in troubleshooting. The backend server processes the transaction data sent by the taxpayer's system, carries out fiscalization, and responds with fiscalized information within a set time-out period.

The Shift from Traditional Hardware Fiscal Solution to e-Invoicing Solution

The world of fiscal solution is evolving! The conventional, hardware-focused fiscal solutions are making way for software-based e-invoicing solutions.


Traditional hardware fiscal systems, while effective, are tethered to custom-built hardware. These systems log all sales data and daily summaries via fiscal modules. Nevertheless, they come with their fair share of challenges.


In contrast, e-invoicing solutions are the new-age heroes. These software-based solutions periodically synchronize data with government fiscal server, offering an array of benefits.

  • Hardware-based solutions up the ante when it comes to maintenance, especially in rural regions.

  • Merchants need to shell out hefty sums for procuring these devices, thereby straining their finances.

Benifits of e-Invoicing Solution


  • Lower the threshold for tax collection, effectively increasing coverage and boosting government revenue.

  • Operate on most general-purpose hardware, reducing initial investments for merchants.

  • The power of technology enables remote troubleshooting, saving merchants valuable time otherwise spent on the road.

  • The subscription-based model lightens the initial cost burden on merchants, giving them the flexibility to discontinue the service based on their business needs.

  • Dealers can enjoy a steady stream of income through subscriptions, which often surpasses the total revenue from hardware solutions.

  • Offer the possibility of software iteration to provide more management functions and customization capabilities, better assisting store owners.
