Zimbabwe moves forward with the Mandatory Implementation of Electronic Invoicing

Since January 1, 2022, Zimbabwe has strengthened its tax control system by mandating the use of electronic fiscal devices, known as Electronic Tax Registers (ETRs), for all operators registered for Value Added Tax (VAT). This measure, established under Finance Act No. 7 of 2021, aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in tax collection, following the trend of fiscal digitalization seen in other African countries.

ETRs are autonomous devices that record commercial transactions and automatically transmit the information to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) in real-time. These devices are equipped with a fiscal memory that archives sales data in an immutable form, ensuring the integrity of tax information.

In addition to ETRs, ZIMRA has approved the use of fiscal printers and electronic signature devices (ESDs) to accommodate different business models. Operators must ensure that their devices are certified and connected to ZIMRA’s Fiscal Data Management System (FDMS), enabling efficient, real-time monitoring of commercial activities.
