E-invoicing & VAT, working properly

EFRIS problems end here — setup, clean-up, and VAT that reconciles.

EFRIS is URA's electronic invoicing system, and it is not optional for VAT-registered businesses. Whether you're setting up for the first time, drowning in fiscalisation errors, or facing penalties for non-compliance, we make EFRIS and VAT run quietly in the background — where they belong.

Why act now

What this costs you every month it waits

  • Double-tax penalties on unfiscalised invoices, transaction by transaction
  • VAT returns that can't reconcile to EFRIS — an open invitation to audit
  • Input VAT claims disallowed for missing e-invoices from suppliers
  • Customers refusing to pay against non-EFRIS invoices
!

The cost of waiting: The EFRIS penalty is double the tax on every unfiscalised transaction — and it multiplies across every invoice you issued outside the system. Meanwhile, EFRIS/VAT mismatches are URA's favourite audit trigger.

How it works

Three steps. Zero guesswork.

01

We assess

A diagnostic of your EFRIS status, error history and VAT reconciliation gap. You get a written map of exposures and quick wins.

02

We fix

Setup corrected, error queues cleared, historical gaps addressed with the least-penalty path, reconciliations rebuilt.

03

We maintain

Monthly reconciliation and support, so EFRIS stays boring — and your VAT return matches URA's own data every single month.

Your personalized quote

Two questions. Your figure — not a rate card.

Scoped by the state of your system and history — diagnosed first, quoted in writing.

“Meet 'Namutebi Pharmacy Group' — three branches, thousands of small sales, and eight months of invoices issued outside EFRIS after a failed setup. We rebuilt the configuration around their POS, negotiated the historical exposure, and put monthly reconciliation in place. Their VAT return now matches EFRIS to the shilling.”

Quick answers

Before you ask

All VAT-registered businesses must issue e-invoices or e-receipts through EFRIS. With the VAT registration threshold at UGX 250M turnover (effective 1 July 2026), crossing that line makes both VAT and EFRIS mandatory.

Per the Tax Procedures Code, an unfiscalised transaction attracts a penalty of double the tax due on it, or the statutory minimum, whichever is higher — applied per transaction. A busy month of non-compliance can dwarf a year of professional fees.

With a diagnostic. We map what was configured, what the error queue says, and how big the EFRIS-to-VAT gap has grown. Then we fix the system and deal with the history deliberately — the order matters for penalties.
