The Public Revenue Office (UJP) and the Ministry of Finance are introducing the e-Faktura electronic invoicing system, a centralised state platform operated directly by UJP in which every invoice is registered in real time and digitally signed. The pilot phase began on 1 January 2026, and the system was publicly launched at a Ministry of Finance press conference on 5 January 2026. UJP has stated that mandatory application is expected in the third quarter of 2026, and that an invoice acquires legal validity when it receives a unique identifier (eID) after successful validation; during the pilot, test invoices use real data from UJP registers but have no legal or tax effect. The system covers non-cash transactions, with free applications and API integration provided. The Minister of Finance described e-Faktura as a serious step in fighting the grey economy and reforming public finances .

e-Faktura targets non-cash transactions and is operated by the Public Revenue Office (UJP) ; cash transactions remain under North Macedonia's existing fiscalisation framework rather than the e-Faktura platform. Detailed B2C requirements have not been published.
B2G
planned
B2G transactions fall under the same e-Faktura framework administered by the Public Revenue Office (UJP) under the Ministry of Finance. UJP opened the e-Faktura pilot phase on 1 January 2026; the system was publicly launched at a Ministry of Finance press conference on 5 January 2026.

Centralised Platform Model: e-Faktura is a centralised state system operated directly by the Public Revenue Office (UJP). Every invoice is registered in real time in the central electronic system and digitally signed by an authorised person; the invoice acquires legal validity at the moment it receives a unique identifier (eID) after successful platform validation. There are no third-party service providers; businesses connect through free client applications or via API. This is a centralised real-time model rather than a 4/5-corner Peppol network.
