UAE e-invoicing, explained like you are busy.
Mandatory e-invoicing is coming to every VAT-registered business in the UAE. PDF and paper invoices will no longer count. The right time to prepare is while you still have a choice of provider.
Which date is yours?
The mandate arrives in waves, set by annual revenue. Pick your band to see your two dates.
The dates, in one table.
| Who | Appoint an accredited provider by | E-invoicing becomes mandatory on |
|---|---|---|
| Wave 1: annual revenue of AED 50 million or more | 30 October 2026 | 1 January 2027 |
| Wave 2: annual revenue under AED 50 million | 31 March 2027 | 1 July 2027 |
Applies to every VAT-registered business in the UAE, for business-to-business and business-to-government invoices. You must be able to receive e-invoices as well as send them.
Three things, in this order.
- 1
Appoint an accredited provider
You cannot connect to the network yourself. You appoint a provider, and the appointment has a deadline of its own.
- 2
Get your data ready
Customer and supplier tax numbers, Peppol IDs and item details must be complete. This is where most of the time goes.
- 3
Go live in both directions
From your go-live date you must issue and also receive e-invoices. Plan the receiving side from day one.
Five questions to ask any provider. Including us.
Who owns the Access Point your platform runs on?
We do. Built and run by our engineers in the UAE. When you call with a question, you reach the people who run it.
What happens to the invoices I receive? Show me in the product.
They become ready-to-post bills. We will show you live, on the first call.
Is my ERP integration priced in writing, with upkeep?
Yes, before you sign. A fixed written price, once per ERP, however many companies run inside it.
What exactly counts against my document allowance?
Every document, once. What you send and what you receive both count, and nothing is counted twice. We warn you at 80 percent and never stop your invoices.
Are Arabic, archiving and a service level included, or extras?
Included on every paid plan. And the service level is written into the contract, not a brochure.
