MRA Invoice and Fiscal Invoice Meaning in Mauritius
MRA Invoice and Fiscal Invoice Meaning Mauritius
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.
