The MRA uses several overlapping terms - MRA invoice, fiscal invoice, fiscal tax invoice, fiscalised invoice, fiscalised tax invoice. This page explains each one in plain English and shows how Codeblix generates all of them from a single invoice record.
What is an MRA invoice
An MRA invoice is any invoice that has been registered with the Mauritius Revenue Authority under the e-invoicing system. The MRA returns an IRN and a QR code, which Codeblix stores on the transaction. The customer copy shows the QR code.
What is a fiscal invoice
A fiscal invoice is the more formal name for an MRA-registered invoice, used in the MRA Technical Guide. The fiscal invoice is what Codeblix produces by default for any VAT-registered customer.
What is a fiscal tax invoice
A fiscal tax invoice is the same as a fiscal invoice, with the word "tax" highlighting that VAT is included on the invoice. The VAT breakdown is on the line level and at the bottom. Codeblix always shows both.
What is a fiscalised invoice or fiscalized invoice
Fiscalised (or fiscalized) means the invoice has been processed by the MRA fiscalisation system. The fiscalisation flow is: send the invoice to the MRA, receive the IRN and QR code, store both on the record. Codeblix does this on save.
What is a fiscal tax invoice number
It is the sequential, gap-free invoice number Codeblix assigns to every fiscal invoice. The format is the company prefix plus a 6-digit running number (e.g. INV-000001). The MRA expects no gaps and no duplicates.
Fiscal invoice example from a Codeblix customer
A Codeblix fiscal invoice shows: BRN, TAN, VAT number, full company address, the MRA-assigned QR code, the date and time of MRA registration, line items with VAT rate and amount, totals, and the payment section with optional Stripe, MCB Juice or my.t money link.
Why this matters for Mauritius businesses
Mauritius is rolling out MRA e-invoicing in phases by taxpayer category. The timetable and status can change, and MRA may separately notify a taxpayer, so businesses should check the current MRA e-invoicing page and their own notices before acting on a deadline.
The Codeblix approach
Codeblix eInvoicing is MRA-listed as an EBS Solution Provider (SN 95, BRN C24214425). The system handles every aspect of MRA compliance automatically - real-time fiscalisation, IRN tracking, QR code generation, hash chain maintenance, and monthly transaction reporting. The local support team in Chamouny is available to help with any MRA query, audit, or transition question.
What to do next
If your present process does not support the fiscal-invoice requirements that apply to your business, document the gap and test an appropriate EBS workflow. Codeblix can review your business requirements and onboarding scope before preparing a proposal; regulatory conclusions remain with the taxpayer and its advisers.
