Tajikistan e-Invoicing Overview

B2B
mandatory
since 1 January 2022
Article 269 of the Tax Code obliges a registered VAT payer that is not on the list of irresponsible taxpayers to give the buyer a VAT and excise invoice on the date of each taxable transaction. Paragraph 3 says the invoice is drawn up electronically and goes to another VAT payer only in electronic form; a buyer who is not a VAT payer may receive a printed copy or an electronic copy in its personal account. The Code, signed as Law No. 1844 of 23 December 2021, took effect on 1 January 2022. Law No. 2143 of 11 February 2025 widened the duty: under Article 381 (2) a simplified-regime taxpayer must now issue an e-invoice to other businesses on the date of supply, which the Tax Committee dates to 12 March 2025 .
B2G
mandatory
since 1 January 2022
Government buyers fall under the same rule as businesses. Article 269 of the Tax Code is framed around the supplier that performs the taxable transaction, not the buyer, so a VAT payer supplying a ministry or public body issues the same electronic VAT and excise invoice on the date of supply. The Code sets no separate public procurement channel, format or date for invoices to the state.
B2C
mandatory
since 1 January 2022
Retail sales are fiscalised rather than invoiced. Under Article 269 (14) of the Tax Code , a VAT payer selling to a final buyer who is not a VAT payer hands over a credit institution receipt or a cash register receipt instead of a VAT invoice. Article 85 makes cash registers compulsory for every cash, card and electronic payment for goods and services, and Article 4 defines them as devices with fiscal memory that transmit data online to the tax authority through operators. Government Resolution No. 638 of 22 November 2025 now sets the procedure, replacing Resolution No. 432 of 9 October 2021. It names the fiscal data operator, Tekhnologiya Grupp LLC, and, where real-time transmission is technically impossible, lets receipts be issued offline provided the data reaches the operator within 24 hours.
