What e-invoicing changes for your invoices

UAE e-invoicing, before and after: today the invoice is handwritten, typed into billing software, emailed as a PDF and retyped by the customer; after e-invoicing it is created once, checked before it is sent, delivered into the customer's software, and the FTA gets a copy automatically.

  • Structured data that software reads

    Your invoice becomes data fields (TRNs, items, VAT and totals) in a format the government has approved.

  • Sent through an approved provider

    Every e-invoice travels through an accredited service provider (ASP) to your customer’s provider.

  • The FTA gets a copy, close to real time

    Tax details reach the Federal Tax Authority as each invoice is sent.

  • Mistakes caught before it’s sent

    A missing TRN or a wrong total is flagged before the invoice leaves your business.

How a UAE e-invoice travels

Four steps. Your software and your provider do the work.

How a UAE e-invoice travels: you create the invoice; your accredited service provider checks it and sends it over the Peppol network to your customer's provider, which delivers it to your customer; the FTA receives the tax data.

The hard part isn’t sending. It’s where your invoices start.

Raad ERP will be UAE e-invoicing ready before your go-live date.

  • Clean customer records. Every customer saved once, with the right TRN.

  • Clear item names and codes. No more “Misc material” on an invoice.

  • Invoices made at the source. In the van, on site, in the factory or the office, not on paper first.

  • E-invoicing switched on in time. Your invoices go out as e-invoices from your go-live date.

UAE e-invoicing questions

Plain answers. For the details, read our full guide.

It replaces PDF and paper invoices for sales to businesses and the government. Each invoice is sent as structured data through an accredited service provider (ASP) on the Peppol network, in the UAE’s PINT AE format, and its tax details reach the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

In two phases. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more appoint an accredited service provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027. Everyone else appoints one by 31 March 2027 and goes live on 1 July 2027.

Yes, for sales to other businesses and to the government. Businesses under AED 50 million in revenue must appoint a provider by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027.

Not yet. Sales to consumers (B2C) are outside the current rule.

You can still send a PDF copy as a courtesy. From your go-live date, the official invoice for business sales is the e-invoice sent through your provider.

An accredited service provider is a company approved by the UAE Ministry of Finance to send and receive e-invoices on the Peppol network. Every business must appoint one.

Before your go-live date. Raad ERP already issues VAT invoices with your TRN, and our team starts preparing your data now so you’re ready in time.
