Do I need a hardware fiscal device?

No. Invoicemonk operates as a virtual fiscal device under the FDMS specification — no on-premise hardware required.

Are dual-currency invoices supported?

Yes. USD and ZWG invoices are issued with the correct ZIMRA dual-currency treatment and reported correctly to FDMS.

How does the buyer verify the invoice?

The QR resolves to the ZIMRA FDMS verification endpoint confirming the fiscal invoice number and totals.

What about exempt and zero-rated supplies?

Both are flagged with the correct ZIMRA code and excluded from VAT charged.

Is real-time transmission required?

Yes — FDMS is real-time. Invoicemonk transmits on invoice issue.

What ZIMRA FDMS requires

Statutory Instrument 153 of 2023 mandates that every VAT-registered operator in Zimbabwe transmit fiscal data to the ZIMRA FDMS in real time using a fiscal device (hardware or virtual). The fiscal invoice number, fiscal signature, and ZIMRA-verifiable QR must appear on the buyer-facing invoice.

How Invoicemonk meets ZIMRA FDMS

Invoicemonk runs as a virtual fiscal device under the ZIMRA FDMS specification, signs every invoice with the registered fiscal credential, transmits to FDMS in real time, captures the fiscal invoice number, and binds the ZIMRA verification QR to the invoice PDF. Both USD and ZWG invoices are supported with the correct ZIMRA dual-currency handling.

Who this applies to

All VAT-registered operators in Zimbabwe.
