Kampala: Following Uganda Revenue Authority’s directive to have all Value Added Tax (VAT) registered businesses issuing Electronic Receipts (Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution) commonly known as EFRIS, a couple of businesses have implemented this including Uganda’s leading online shop/supermarket “Kikuubo Online”.

EFRIS was adopted following the passing of the Tax Procedures Code (E-Invoicing and E-Receipting) Regulations 2020 which 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 short falls 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.
