Abidjan's payment scene runs on Orange Money and MTN Mobile Money, with Wave's aggressive low-fee model having won substantial ground since its Ivorian launch, while corporates settle in CFA francs by bank transfer through the BCEAO-supervised system. The standardised-invoice regime shapes daily practice: clients expect a facture normalisée, not a free-form document, and deductibility depends on it. Invoices are in French and carry the supplier's CC (compte contribuable) tax number and RCCM registration. The XOF peg to the euro makes invoicing French and EU clients frictionless, and within UEMOA payments cross borders in the shared currency; formal payment terms run 30 to 60 days, with the cocoa-season cash cycle noticeably influencing liquidity in the wider economy.
Step 1. Open the Côte d'Ivoire invoice generator. Currency and tax are pre-loaded for you. Fill in your business details and logo; signed in, the company profile you save under Settings fills them in for you.
Step 2. Add your customer and your line items. Quantity, unit price and tax update the totals automatically. Switch language between Arabic & English as needed; Xuvilo flips the layout to RTL or LTR for you.
Step 3. Click "Download PDF". Your Côte d'Ivoire invoice is generated as a print-ready A4 file in XOF, ready to email to the client or attach to your accounting system.
Côte d'Ivoire applies 18% TVA on most invoiced goods and services, so Xuvilo defaults the tax rate to 18% TVA on the Côte d'Ivoire invoice. You can override the rate per line, exclude exempt items, or add multiple tax components if your business requires it.
The tax authority responsible for Côte d'Ivoire is DGI (Direction Générale des Impôts). VAT applies to businesses in the réel tax regimes — broadly those above roughly XOF 200 million in annual turnover for the normal regime, with simplified and micro-enterprise regimes below — verify your regime thresholds with the DGI, as finance laws adjust them.
Côte d'Ivoire has required the 'facture normalisée' (standardised invoice) for years — historically paper invoices bearing DGI hologram stickers — and in 2025 began transitioning to the FNE (Facture Normalisée Électronique), an electronic standardised invoice issued through the DGI's platform with QR-code verification. The electronic regime is being phased in across taxpayer categories, replacing sticker-based invoices. Verify your onboarding deadline and the technical channels (portal, app or API) with the DGI.
Xuvilo isn't only an invoice generator. The same business profile powers a free quotation generator for sending price quotes before a deal is signed, a free receipt generator for confirming payments after they're made, and a 859 template library for industry-specific designs. Most Côte d'Ivoire businesses go through quote → invoice → receipt for every project, and Xuvilo covers all three.
The standard rate is 18%, with a reduced 9% rate on a short list of goods such as milk and certain food products. Businesses in the micro-enterprise regimes below the réel thresholds pay a turnover-based tax instead and do not charge TVA.
It is Côte d'Ivoire's electronic standardised invoice, introduced in 2025 to replace the old hologram-sticker paper invoices. Invoices are generated or validated through the DGI's platform and carry a QR code, and only standardised invoices are recognised for tax deductibility — confirm your rollout phase with the DGI.
The CFA franc's fixed peg to the euro makes EU invoicing effectively currency-risk-free, and within the UEMOA zone invoices settle in XOF across borders without conversion. For clients outside the franc zone, quoting in EUR or USD is common, with exports zero-rated for TVA.
Beyond the usual details, invoices must be standardised (FNE) documents carrying the supplier's compte contribuable (CC) tax number, RCCM trade register reference and the DGI verification elements. Corporate clients will refuse non-standardised invoices because they cannot deduct them.
