Burkina Faso has officially launched a certified electronic invoicing platform, replacing its 2017 normalised invoicing regime. The system will become mandatory for affected taxpayers from 1 July 2026 after a short transition period, enabling real‑time transmission of invoice data to the tax authority.

Burkina Faso will launch a certified electronic invoicing system in January 2026 to centralise transaction data, curb VAT fraud and reduce corruption. The system requires businesses to use certified software, terminals and internet connectivity, and will enable continuous data flow to the tax authority for better revenue forecasting and credit assessment.
