The electronic standardized invoice comes into force in Ivory Coast in January 2025

  • Introduction of Electronic Standardized Invoice: The General Directorate of Taxes (DGI) announced that the electronic standardized invoice will be implemented starting January 2025, as discussed during an event organized by the European Chamber of Commerce in Côte d’Ivoire (EUROCHAM).
  • Legislative Framework: The relevant law for the electronic standardized invoice has already been voted on and is awaiting promulgation, with a ministerial decree to outline the implementation stages and a planned transitional period not exceeding the first quarter of 2025.
  • Transition from Traditional System: The traditional invoicing system will gradually phase out, with simplified processes for large companies, while small companies may face more complex challenges during the transition.
  • Certification through FNE Platform: Companies will retain their usual practices while certifying electronically issued invoices via a platform known as the FNE platform, which will integrate all elements of the paper version into the electronic format.
  • EUROCHAM’s Support and Vision: The chairman of EUROCHAM’s legal and tax committee acknowledged the DGI’s efforts in raising awareness about the electronic standardized invoice, highlighting its alignment with the vision for a modern Côte d’Ivoire and the importance of addressing members’ concerns.
