What EIMS e-invoicing means for a merchant

EIMS legalises fiscal invoices and receipts. Here is what that means in practice, without treating TIMES as a government office.

The Ministry of Revenue operates EIMS, the Electronic Invoice Management Service. When a business issues a tax invoice or a receipt that must be fiscal, EIMS is the service that legalises it and returns a reference number.

That is a different job from bookkeeping. A spreadsheet can list sales. It cannot give you an IRN. A thin “submit this PDF” tool can talk to an API and still leave you without stock, buyers, or a staff model.

TIMES treats e-invoicing as part of the workspace. You prepare the invoice against your catalogue and buyer, then submit it to EIMS from the same place. After acceptance, the document keeps the reference EIMS returned.

You still have obligations to MoR. TIMES does not replace your taxpayer account, and this guide is not legal advice. It is a description of the work a merchant actually does: prepare, submit, and keep a record.

If a submission fails, finance needs to see that. TIMES includes an EIMS submission health view so “we think it went through” is not the process.

When you are ready to issue invoices this way, create a TIMES workspace with your TIN. The Times team reviews the company before the workspace goes live.
