Eswatini is preparing a continuous transaction control (CTC) regime built on the TaxCore fiscalisation platform. The Eswatini Revenue Service (ERS) officially launched the TaxCore Electronic Invoicing Programme on 11 May 2026, following a fiscalisation technology procurement run through the Eswatini Public Procurement Regulatory Agency (ESPPRA) in 2025. Under the model, invoice data is digitally signed and transmitted to the ERS in real time or near real time as traders issue invoices, with full go-live targeted for January 2028. No electronic-invoicing obligation is in force yet, so B2B, B2G and B2C are all classed as planned. VAT has applied in Eswatini since 2012 at a standard rate of 15%.
