How businesses in Mauritania invoice and get paid

Mauritanian payments have been transformed by bank-led mobile apps: Bankily (Banque Populaire de Mauritanie), Sedad, and Masrvi have brought everyday transfers to phones in a country where cash previously dominated almost completely and banking penetration was thin. B2B settlements among larger firms — mining suppliers, fishing exporters, importers — run on bank transfers through institutions like BNM and Attijari bank Mauritanie, with the GIMTEL switch handling domestic cards. Invoices are issued in French, sometimes with Arabic, in ouguiya — remember the 2018 redenomination replaced old MRO with new MRU at 10 to 1, and prices are occasionally still quoted colloquially in old units. The MRU is not freely convertible, so the substantial mining and fisheries export economy invoices in EUR or USD with proceeds repatriated through the Banque Centrale de Mauritanie framework.

Why Mauritania businesses choose Xuvilo

What's on every Mauritania invoice

How to create a Mauritania invoice in three steps

Step 1. Open the Mauritania 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 Mauritania invoice is generated as a print-ready A4 file in MRU, ready to email to the client or attach to your accounting system.

Tax in Mauritania

Mauritania applies 16% TVA on most invoiced goods and services, so Xuvilo defaults the tax rate to 16% TVA on the Mauritania 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 Mauritania is DGI (Direction Générale des Impôts). TVA applies to businesses under the real assessment regime, with small taxpayers below the regime threshold falling under simplified or flat taxation instead — verify the current turnover boundaries with the DGI.

E-invoicing rules in Mauritania

Mauritania has no e-invoicing mandate; invoicing follows conventional rules under the tax code administered by the DGI, with invoices required to show the supplier's NIF (numéro d'identification fiscale) and the 16% TVA separately for businesses under the real regime. The DGI has been modernising tax filing through online declaration for larger taxpayers, but there is no invoice clearance platform — verify current filing obligations with the DGI in Nouakchott.

Beyond invoices — quotations and receipts for Mauritania

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 Mauritania businesses go through quote → invoice → receipt for every project, and Xuvilo covers all three.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mauritania

What is the TVA rate in Mauritania and how should invoices show it?

The standard TVA is 16%, with higher rates historically applied to telecommunications and petroleum products. Invoices from real-regime businesses must show the supplier's NIF and the TVA amount separately, typically in French, and incomplete invoices jeopardise the buyer's deduction — confirm formatting expectations with the DGI.

Is e-invoicing required in Mauritania?

No, Mauritania has no e-invoicing mandate or clearance platform. The DGI has moved larger taxpayers toward online tax declarations, but invoices themselves remain ordinary paper or PDF documents carrying the mandatory identifiers.

What should I know about the ouguiya when invoicing?

Mauritania redenominated in 2018, replacing the old ouguiya (MRO) with the new MRU at 10 old to 1 new — older price references can still cause tenfold confusion, so always state MRU explicitly. The currency is not freely convertible, so export contracts in the mining and fisheries sectors are normally denominated in EUR or USD.

How do businesses in Mauritania get paid?

Larger firms use bank transfers through banks like BPM and BNM, but the striking shift is mobile: Bankily, Sedad, and Masrvi apps now handle a huge share of everyday transfers, and quoting a Bankily number on an invoice is normal for small businesses. Cash remains common in traditional commerce, and advance payment is standard practice with new counterparties.
