Morocco is moving toward a mandatory electronic invoicing system in 2026, with a centralized CTC model that will validate invoices in real time via the DGI platform. The reform will roll out progressively, starting with B2B transactions for large companies and later expanding to SMEs and B2C. The UBL format will be the required structured data standard, and invoices must include an electronic signature before validation.

Morocco has introduced a new VAT regime for non‑resident digital service providers, requiring quarterly registration, reporting and payment via a dedicated electronic platform effective 11 June 2026. The 20 % VAT rate applies to B2C digital services, with detailed transaction‑level reporting mandated within 30 days of each quarter. B2B digital services remain nil‑rated for foreign suppliers, with reverse charge applied by Moroccan VAT‑registered businesses.

Kenya Revenue Authority will automatically link export records from the customs platform iCMS to VAT returns in iTax starting May 2026, requiring exporters to have verified export values linked to their PIN and valid electronic tax invoices. This eliminates manual zero‑rated sales declaration, blocks unsupported refund claims at source, and extends oversight to services exports prefilled via electronic invoices.

Only transactions validated and linked to the taxpayer’s PIN and invoice will be accepted in VAT returns.

Kenya has temporarily reduced VAT on petrol and diesel from 16% to 13% for a three‑month period, effective 15 April to 14 July 2026. The measure, announced under Legal Notice No. 69, aims to ease inflationary pressure from rising global energy prices.
The UBL (Universal Business Language) format will be the mandatory structured electronic format for all e-invoices.
B2B e-invoicing is expected to start in 2026, initially targeting large companies and then gradually expanding to SMEs.
Invoices must include an electronic signature and be transmitted to the DGI platform, where they will undergo real-time validation of format, signature and mandatory data before being forwarded to the buyer.
B2C transactions are not part of the initial 2026 rollout but may be added in later phases.
In later phases, accredited Certified Service Providers will act as private operators authorized to support invoice clearance and transmission, supplementing the DGI platform.
