Introduction of e-Invoicing in

Zambia

ZRA
  • Electronic Invoicing System: Smart Invoice is an electronic invoicing system that requires taxpayers to record all transactions through approved solutions and transmit invoice data to the ZRA in real-time.

  • Multichannel Support: The system supports mobile apps, online platforms, and desktop applications to accommodate different types of taxpayers, such as those subject to turnover tax and rental income tax.

  • Security: Smart Invoice emphasizes security with encryption, secure transmission methods, authentication, and data access controls to protect sensitive financial data.

  • Real-time Verification: Each invoice generated through Smart Invoice will have a Quick Response (QR) code that taxpayers can scan using a mobile application to verify the authenticity of the invoice.

  • Phased Implementation: Smart Invoice will be introduced through a pilot program before a full rollout.

  • Legal Requirement: Using Smart Invoice will be mandatory, and non-compliance will result in penalties.

  • Cost Savings: Smart Invoice helps to reduce costs associated with paper use, printing, postage, and manual data entry and storage, as well as minimizing errors and related fines and interest.

  • Environmental Sustainability: By reducing the use of paper invoices, Smart Invoice also supports environmental sustainability.

Key Points of Fiscal Regualtion


ZRA communicates with taxpayers and their invoicing systems through the Virtual Sales Data Controller (VSDC) API, which serves as a bridge between third-party invoicing solutions and the Smart Invoice system.


The VSDC API uses secure communication protocols, including encryption and authentication with a unique security key generated for each device, and operates with a REST architectural style over HTTP, exchanging data in JSON format with supported operating systems including Windows 10+, Unix, and Linux.

The Shift from Traditional ESDC Solution to VSDC (e-Invoicing) Solution

The world of fiscal solution is evolving! The conventional, hardware-focused ESDC solutions are making way for software-based e-invoicing solutions.


Traditional hardware ESDC systems, while effective, are tethered to custom-built hardware. These systems log all sales data and daily summaries via fiscal modules. Nevertheless, they come with their fair share of challenges.


In contrast, VSDC (e-invoicing) solutions are the new-age heroes. These software-based solutions periodically synchronize data with government fiscal server, offering an array of benefits.

Weekness of ESDC Solution


  • The production and supply of custom hardware can be quite a hurdle.

  • Hardware-based solutions up the ante when it comes to maintenance, especially in rural regions.

  • Merchants need to shell out hefty sums for procuring these devices, thereby straining their finances.

Benifits of VSDC (e-Invoicing) Solution


  • Lower the threshold for tax collection, effectively increasing coverage and boosting government revenue.

  • Operate on most general-purpose hardware, reducing initial investments for merchants.

  • The power of technology enables remote troubleshooting, saving merchants valuable time otherwise spent on the road.

  • The subscription-based model lightens the initial cost burden on merchants, giving them the flexibility to discontinue the service based on their business needs.

  • Dealers can enjoy a steady stream of income through subscriptions, which often surpasses the total revenue from hardware solutions.

  • Offer the possibility of software iteration to provide more management functions and customization capabilities, better assisting store owners.
