ETA — Ethiopia e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Ethiopia

No Ethiopia data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants Ethiopia support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Ethiopia's e-invoicing is administered by the ETA, the Ethiopian Tax Authority, through its e-Invoice System.

What supporting Ethiopia would involve​

SystemETA e-Invoice System
AuthorityETA — Ethiopian Tax Authority
FormatA national XML schema. No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today.
TransmissionSubmission to the ETA e-Invoice System. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.

Which catalogues a contributor would add​

Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for Ethiopia.

  • country-policy/data/et.json — which document actions Ethiopia allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
  • country-identifiers/data/et.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
  • tax/tax-systems/data/et.json and vat-rates/data/et.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
  • correction-routes/data/et.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
  • b2g-routing/data/et.json — the channel and format an Ethiopian public buyer requires.
  • transports/channel-policy/data/et.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Ethiopia, and from what date.
  • archive/retention/data/et.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.

Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.

Data alone will not finish the job here: the ETA e-Invoice System is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and its XML schema has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want Ethiopia supported?​

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for Ethiopia, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add Ethiopia".
