(1) economic operators, in the context of e-Invoicing, and
(2) betting operators offering bets within the country in the context of the Central Electronic Monitoring System (CEMS) - Betting.
In the context of MRA e-Invoicing, accounting packages, invoicing solutions, POS, ECR, or ERP systems used by economic operators are collectively referred to as Electronic Billing Systems (EBS). In contrast, within the context of CEMS - Betting, the solutions or betting terminals used by betting operators and their developers are referred to as Electronic Betting Systems (EBS). The platform enables the registration of software developers, their EBS and facilitates system testing.
It furthermore allows the registration of operator details and their respective systems, which will be used in the live environment to transmit data to the MRA, in accordance with established technical standards.
e-Invoicing
The Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) is introducing an e-Invoicing System at the national level in Mauritius in a phase-wise approach. With the advent of this e-Invoicing System,
providers of goods and services (that is, the sellers) will be required to fiscalise their invoices or receipts in real time with the MRA before issuing them to their customers (that is, the buyers).
For the purpose of the MRA e-Invoicing System, an Electronic Billing System (EBS) refers to the system being used (or intended to be used) by an economic operator for generation of electronic invoices
to record its sales transactions including invoices, credit notes and debit notes. In a nutshell, to make an EBS compliant with the MRA e-Invoicing System, the EBS must be customized for it to communicate
in real time with the MRA e-Invoicing System by using the appropriate Application Programming Interface (API) made available by the MRA.
EBS Solution Provider or Software Developer
In general, software developers or external solution providers customise and maintain an EBS to be used for transmission of data to the authority.
Sign Up as an EBS Developer or EBS Solution Provider on the MRA Secure Hub Portal in order to get access to the technical guidelines for customising
and, thereafter, testing the EBS for compliance with the MRA e-Invoicing System.

Economic Operator
Once the internal EBS software developers or external EBS solution provider have made the necessary customisations to the EBS used by an Economic Operator, the latter should
then Register as an Economic Operator to on-board its compliant EBS being used at every place of business.
Thereafter, once all tests by the Economic Operator are successful,
he may, at any time, start transmission with the live MRA Invoice Secure Hub Portal.

CEMS-Betting
The Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) is in the process of upgrading its Central Electronic Monitoring System-Betting (CEMS-Betting) to enable the continuous online recording, monitoring
and control of betting transactions. With the advent of the new system, licensed betting operators offering bets in Mauritius will be required to fiscalise their betting transactions in real
time with the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) before issuing a receipt to punters in the form of a physical or electronic receipt or acknowledgement.
In general, a licensed betting operator uses a betting software, whether web-based, standalone, or client-server to record bets. This betting software solution must be fully compliant with
the MRA’s CEMS-Betting, meaning it must be capable of transmitting all betting transactions in real-time using the prescribed data format via approved APIs, and in accordance with the requirements
set out by the MRA.
EBS Solution Provider or Software Developer
In general, software developers or external solution providers customise and maintain an EBS to be used for transmission of data to the authority.
Sign Up as an EBS Developer or EBS Solution Provider on the MRA Secure Hub Portal in order to get access to the technical guidelines for customising
and, thereafter, testing the EBS for compliance with the MRA CEMS-Betting System.
