E-Invoicing & Tax Compliance in Lebanon
The short answer
E-invoicing means issuing the invoice in a structured digital format that systems can read, rather than a hand-written slip. In practice for the rep: the invoice carries seller, buyer, date, amount and tax in a machine-readable QR code, and a copy is stored that cannot be edited retroactively. Tax context in Lebanon: value added tax at 11%. Always check the current requirements of the finance directorate before settling on a configuration.
