ZRA — Zambia e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support Zambia

No Zambia 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 Zambia support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

Zambia's e-invoicing is administered by the ZRA, the Zambia Revenue Authority, through its Smart Invoice e-Invoice System.

What supporting Zambia would involve

System	ZRA e-Invoice System (Smart Invoice)
Authority	ZRA — Zambia Revenue Authority
Format	A national format (Smart Invoice). No provider in backend/src/modules/documents/formats/ builds it today.
Transmission	Submission to the ZRA e-Invoice System. No transport in backend/src/modules/documents/transports/ talks to it today.

Inherited, unverified

Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.

• Mandatory for all businesses from 2023, with continuous real-time reporting.
• Described as a clearance model requiring e-invoice authorization before an invoice is valid.

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 Zambia.

• country-policy/data/zm.json — which document actions Zambia allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
• country-identifiers/data/zm.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
• tax/tax-systems/data/zm.json and vat-rates/data/zm.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
• correction-routes/data/zm.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
• b2g-routing/data/zm.json — the channel and format a Zambian public buyer requires.
• transports/channel-policy/data/zm.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in Zambia, and from what date.
• archive/retention/data/zm.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.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 ZRA e-Invoice System is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, and the Smart Invoice format has no format provider. Both are code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want Zambia supported?

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