With Uganda Revenue Authority’s directive to have all Value Added Tax (V.A.T) registered businesses issuing Electronic Receipts (Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution) which has commonly come to be known as EFRIS, all businesses have gone into a frenzy implementing this new directive.
The Tax Procedures Code (E-Invoicing and E-Receipting) Regulations 2020 were enacted by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and passed by the Parliament.
The idea of EFRIS according to URA, entails the use of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs), e-Invoicing or direct communication with business transaction systems to manage the issuance of e-receipts and e-invoices in accordance with the Tax Procedures Code Act, 2014.
Once a transaction is initiated using any of the solution’s components, transaction details are transmitted to URA in real time to generate e-receipts and e-invoices.
According to URA, the system is designed to improve business efficiencies and reduce the cost of compliance through improved record keeping among taxpayers and mitigate tax administration shortfalls while promoting efficiency.
EFRIS will curb false refund claims, fictitious purchases with no physical movement of goods and unverifiable claims by taxpayers due to loss of records.
EFRIS e-receipting and invoicing will bring the large informal sector on board. URA has been having limited access to taxpayers’ records but with this system, more businesses will come on board.
