E-invoicing in the UAE

To ensure seamless compliance with the UAE’s e-invoicing initiative, it’s essential to integrate your business processes with a robust e-invoicing and tax automation solution. The UAE’s Ministry of Finance has announced the implementation of mandatory e-invoicing, set to commence in July 2026. This initiative aims to enhance tax compliance, reduce fraud, and streamline business operations.

The UAE will adopt a Decentralized Continuous Transaction Control and Exchange (DCTCE) model, utilizing the PEPPOL network for electronic transmission of invoices among suppliers, buyers, and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). To comply with these requirements, businesses must ensure their invoicing systems are capable of generating and transmitting e-invoices in the prescribed format.

UAE E-Invoicing 2026: Key Insights and How to Get Ready for the Future

In July 2023, the UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) introduced several strategic initiatives, including the development of a federal-level advanced billing system known as the "E-Billing System" or "e-invoicing".
Recently, the MoF launched a dedicated webpage offering detailed information about the phased implementation of e-invoicing across the UAE, set to begin in Q2 2026. The webpage also includes FAQs addressing key aspects of the proposed e-invoicing framework.

TRANSACTIONS & TAX PAYERS

Initially, the e-invoicing system will focus on business-to-business (‘B2B’) and business-to-government (‘B2G’) transactions. We expect MoF may expand this to include business-to-consumer (‘B2C’) transactions as well at a later stage.

The system will apply to all taxpayers who are required to issue invoices under the UAE VAT law. This includes businesses of various sizes, though large taxpayers are likely to be the first to adopt e-invoicing as part of the initial phases. It is expected that smaller businesses will follow in subsequent phases, with specific thresholds likely based on annual turnover over the past couple of years. VAT groups will also be required to comply, with each member of the group individually required to have a connection to an ASP, while using the group TRN, to ensure all transactions are captured within the e-invoicing regime.
