Seychelles first publicly announced its intention to introduce e-invoicing in February 2024, when the Cabinet approved the implementation of an electronic invoicing system for the Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC). According to the government's announcement, the system is intended to facilitate the automatic and instantaneous transmission of billing information, strengthen tax compliance, improve revenue collection, and reduce administrative costs.
The most recent public update was reported on July 25, 2026, when the Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC) stated during a press conference that the project had entered the final stage of procurement. Acting Commissioner, General Fred Morel indicated that SRC was nearing completion of the vendor selection process and preparing for contract award. During the same briefing, SRC described the future platform as a real-time e-invoicing system capable of transmitting invoice data directly to the tax authority.
Based on information released by the government and SRC to date, the initiative is expected to initially focus on VAT-registered taxpayers. Authorities have indicated that VAT will be the first tax area covered by the system, with the potential for expansion to additional taxes in later phases.
While these announcements demonstrate continued progress toward the implementation of an e-invoicing framework, they should not be interpreted as confirmation that a mandate is currently in force. As of September 2026, no implementing legislation, technical specifications, onboarding procedures, or mandatory compliance dates have been identified in publicly available official sources.
Further updates are expected as the project advances beyond the procurement phase.
