The problem
A VAT-registered operator needs a fiscal tax invoice the customer can check. A normal invoice in the accounts is not, by itself, that document.
How Levamen handles it
- The device stores the taxpayer name, TIN, VAT number, serial, key, certificate, and the FDMS address.
- Open the fiscal day before fiscalising.
- Only a posted invoice or credit note on the same company can be fiscalised, and only once.
- The receipt is signed. It receives a verification code and a QR built from the device’s verification URL.
- When an FDMS address is configured, the receipt is submitted to that device.
In Zimbabwe
What a fiscal tax invoice must contain is set by ZIMRA, including the public notices on fiscal tax invoices and the FDMS. Levamen is the tool that prepares and submits the receipt for a configured device. It is not an approval from ZIMRA, and a receipt still has to validate on the FDMS portal.
After you submit a receipt, check it on the FDMS portal. ZIMRA’s own notices describe what a fiscal tax invoice has to show. This page is the product, not tax advice.
Questions
Does Levamen replace the fiscal device?
You register a device, including its key and FDMS address. Levamen fiscalises from that device. Hardware devices still come from a supplier approved by ZIMRA.
Can I fiscalise a draft?
No. The invoice has to be posted, and the fiscal day has to be open.
