Introduce Point of Sales (POS) systems and digital invoicing to streamline VAT collection.
NPP 2024Source manifesto
Why this status
Partly delivered. The Inland Revenue Department introduced a legally binding revised VAT invoice format from July 2026, including API-based reporting to strengthen digital tax administration. That advances digital invoicing, but the evidence does not establish the separate Point-of-Sale rollout promised for VAT collection.
