For business owners

Stay compliant. No IT team
required.

URA requires every VAT-registered business to issue invoices through EFRIS. We make that effortless — no technical knowledge needed.

Always URA compliant

Every invoice is submitted to URA in real time and authenticated automatically. You'll never miss a filing or risk a penalty for non-compliance.

No developer needed

You don't need an IT team or a technical consultant to get started. Sign up, enter your TIN, and issue your first invoice in minutes.

Fraction of the cost

A custom EFRIS integration costs millions in developer time. At UGX 1,500,000/year, you get the same result — fully managed, always up to date.

Focus on your business

Key rotations, error retries, and URA protocol updates happen automatically in the background. You just run your business.

Did you know? URA can fine businesses up to UGX 6,000,000 per invoice for non-compliance with EFRIS. EFRIS Simplified costs less than the penalty for a single missed invoice.

The Problem

Raw EFRIS integration is
brutally complex

The URA Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS) API demands deep cryptographic expertise and months of careful engineering before you can issue a single invoice.

RSA Key Management

Generate 2048-bit RSA keypairs, upload your public key to the URA portal, register devices and thumbprints — all before you can send a single request.

Daily AES Key Rotation

AES encryption keys expire every 24 hours. You must call T104, RSA-decrypt the response, and re-cache the key — every single day, without fail.

Complex JSON Envelopes

Every API call uses the same 3-layer JSON structure: encrypted data, globalInfo with 15+ mandatory fields, and returnStateInfo — each precisely formatted.

Cryptic Error Codes

Over 100 numeric return codes (9901, 402, 312, 3370…) each requiring different retry strategies, key refresh logic, or business process corrections.

Dictionary Sync Burden

Commodity codes, excise duty tables, and exchange rates must be fetched and stored daily via T115, T123, T125, and T126 — and compared against local versions.

Multi-Business Overhead

Each client needs its own TIN, virtual device number, RSA keypair, and daily AES key. Managing five clients means five separate key lifecycles running in parallel.

Simple by design

From sign-up to first invoice
in under 5 minutes

We've compressed the 200+ steps of EFRIS integration into three simple actions.

01

Connect your business

Sign up, enter your TIN and EFRIS credentials. Upload your RSA keys once via our guided wizard — or let us generate a compliant keypair for you.

✓ One-time setup ✓ Guided wizard
02

Send clean JSON

POST your invoice in simple, human-readable JSON: buyer TIN, line items with prices, and currency. No encryption, no interface codes, no envelopes.

✓ Clean REST API ✓ JSON in, JSON out
03

Get compliant receipts

Receive a URA-authenticated invoice number, QR code, and fiscal receipt data in milliseconds. Complete audit trail saved automatically.

✓ URA authenticated ✓ QR code included
Built for developers

Everything handled.
Nothing to worry about.

Automatic Key Management

RSA keypair generation, secure encrypted storage, AES key rotation every 24h, and automatic re-authentication — completely invisible to you.

Zero Crypto Knowledge

Send plain JSON. We handle AES-256 encryption, Base64 encoding, SHA-256 RSA signing, and response decryption on every single request.

Smart Error Handling

Auto-retry on concurrency limit 9901, key refresh on error 402, and human-readable messages instead of cryptic 4-digit return codes.

Multi-Business Support

Manage multiple TINs, device numbers, and key lifecycles from one account. Perfect for accounting firms, ERP vendors, and ISVs.

Full Audit Trail

Every request, response, and error is logged. View your complete transaction history from the dashboard with timestamps and status codes.

Auto Dictionary Sync

Commodity codes, tax categories, excise duties, and exchange rates stay in sync automatically. No manual T115, T123, T125, or T126 calls ever needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to understand how EFRIS works to use this?

No. You just need your TIN and EFRIS credentials. We handle all cryptography, interface codes, and URA protocol requirements. Most users issue their first invoice within 5 minutes of signing up.

Is this officially approved by URA?

EFRIS Simplified communicates directly with the official URA EFRIS API endpoints. All invoices issued through our platform are fully EFRIS-compliant and submitted to URA in real time. We act as your technical middleware — the fiscal receipts and tax obligations remain entirely yours.

What happens to my RSA private key?

Your RSA private key is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and stored in an isolated vault. It is never logged, never exposed via API, and only decrypted in memory at the moment of request signing.

Can I use this to manage multiple client businesses?

Absolutely. EFRIS Simplified is designed for accounting firms, ISVs, and ERP vendors managing multiple taxpayers. Each business gets its own isolated TIN, device number, and AES key lifecycle — all from a single account.

What if EFRIS returns an error on my invoice?

We translate all EFRIS return codes into human-readable error messages with actionable guidance. Transient errors (like concurrency limit 9901) are automatically retried with backoff. Permanent errors return clear explanations of what needs to be corrected.

Does it support the EFRIS test (sandbox) environment?

Yes. All accounts start connected to the EFRIS test environment (efristest.ura.go.ug). When you're ready to go live, flip a single toggle in your dashboard to switch to production. No code changes required on your side.
