Revenue Services Lesotho  /  E-Invoicing

Lekuka

RSL's national e-invoicing system is now law. Every VAT-registered business in Lesotho must connect their billing software to RSL before October 30, 2026, or face penalties. We make that happen.

Legal framework in force April 1, 2026
Final compliance deadline October 30, 2026
Who must comply All VAT-registered businesses
In plain language

Think of Lekuka as a receipt that copies itself directly to RSL the moment you make a sale, automatically, with no manual re-entry.

Before Lekuka, businesses printed invoices, kept their own records, then typed it all again into a VAT return, which caused errors and delays. Lekuka removes that double-work entirely. Your system reports to RSL in real time, every transaction gets a digital signature and QR code, and your VAT return pre-fills itself.

  • 1

    You make a sale

    Your till, POS or billing software records the transaction as normal.

  • 2

    Lekuka stamps it

    The invoice gets a digital signature and QR code as proof it is real and filed with RSL.

  • 3

    RSL receives it instantly

    A copy goes to Revenue Services Lesotho in real time. No paperwork. No courier.

  • 4

    Your VAT return fills itself

    RSL already has your invoice data, so your return is pre-populated at period end.

Does this affect you?

Who must use Lekuka?

Under the hood

How the system works

Three parts: your existing software, an accredited billing layer, and RSL's central database, all connected into a single automated chain.

01 / Source

Your systems

  • Accounting & ERP
  • Point of sale (POS)
  • Billing & payroll
02 / Bridge

Accredited EBS

  • Data mapping & formatting
  • Digital signing
  • Validation & queuing
  • Secure transmission
03 / Destination

Lekuka / RSL

  • Submitted on time
  • QR code stamped
  • Fully traceable
  • Audit ready

The EBS (Electronic Billing System) in the middle is what most businesses are missing. It is the RSL-accredited layer that bridges your existing setup to Lekuka. Setting it up correctly is exactly what we do.

Our process

How we get you compliant

01

Assessment

We review your current systems (till software, ERP or POS) and map out exactly what Lekuka requires. You get a clear scope and cost before anything starts.

02

Build & test

We configure your EBS, connect it to RSL's API and test end-to-end. Nothing goes live until the system is working perfectly and RSL-accredited.

03

Go live & support

We handle the switch-over and stay on hand for monitoring and fixes. If RSL updates their requirements, we adapt your setup quickly.

Don't wait until October. Start now.

Call us or fill in the form and we will walk you through exactly what integrating with Lekuka involves: the requirements, the timeline and the cost. No obligation.
