E-invoicing mandate — Ethiopia
A regime has been announced or is in legislation, but no binding start date is fixed. Planning here means planning for a direction, not for a date.
Ethiopia has the rulebook but no application schedule: the Electronic Invoicing System Administration Directive No. 1142/2026 has been in force since 1 July 2026 and requires an Invoice Registration Number, a Receipt Registration Number and a QR code before an invoice is valid. Art. 29(1), however, defers application to a schedule the authority has never published — no taxpayer has a deadline. Alongside it, the older device fiscalisation (Directive No. 139/2007, Value Added Tax Regulation No. 570/2025) continues unchanged.
No obligation known
Ethiopia: as at 10/27/2026, no statutory e-invoicing obligation is known. This entry exists because a missing country reads like “no obligation” without anyone having checked — here someone has.

What Invoiceflair can do — Ethiopia
Ethiopia: the engine currently carries no national format of its own. Validating, viewing and converting the European formats remains available — only a country-specific mandatory format is missing.
Stated limit: Invoiceflair creates, validates and reads formats. It is not a Peppol access point and not a clearing service — it does not perform transmission to an authority's platform.
