UAE e-invoicing

UAE e-invoicing software: Fiscal is ready

From 2027, businesses in the UAE must send their invoices to other businesses as structured e-invoices through an accredited service provider. Fiscal does this from the invoices you already issue, and Exler Vision sets it up for you.

What the UAE e-invoicing rules require

The UAE electronic invoicing system is set by Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025 and run by the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

  • Structured e-invoices, not PDFs. Invoices and credit notes go out as data in the UAE PINT AE format. A PDF, a scan or an emailed invoice is not an e-invoice.
  • Through an accredited service provider. Every business appoints one accredited service provider (ASP), which sends and receives its e-invoices on the Peppol network.
  • Reported to the FTA. The service provider passes the tax data of each e-invoice to the FTA.
  • Business to business and to government. B2B and B2G sales are in scope, whether or not the business is VAT registered. Sales to consumers (B2C) are outside the mandate for now.
  • On time. An e-invoice is issued and sent within 14 days of the supply, or of the payment if that comes first.

UAE e-invoicing deadlines

The dates depend on your annual revenue. The Ministry of Finance has said no further extensions will be given.

Any business may start voluntarily before its date; the pilot and voluntary use began on 1 July 2026. Penalties apply once your date has passed, for example AED 5,000 for each month without e-invoicing or an appointed service provider, and AED 100 for each e-invoice or credit note sent late.

How Fiscal handles UAE e-invoicing

You keep working the way you do today. Fiscal does the rest when you save an invoice.

1

Issue the invoice

Create a tax invoice or credit note in Fiscal as usual, with your TRN, the customer's TRN and VAT at 5%.

2

Fiscal builds the e-invoice

Fiscal turns it into a PINT AE e-invoice with the codes the UAE format needs.

3

Sent through the provider

Fiscal sends it to the accredited service provider, which delivers it to your customer on Peppol and reports it to the FTA.

4

Status in Fiscal

You see the status of every e-invoice. Anything rejected waits in the E-Invoice Queue to be corrected and sent again.

Our service provider or your own

Use the accredited service provider we work with, and we arrange the connection for you. If you have already appointed a provider, Fiscal can connect to yours with the details it gives you.

What to prepare

  • Your TRN and your customers' TRNs
  • The emirate of each customer address
  • Units of measure and the UAE tax category of each item
  • Your service provider, if you already have one

Questions about UAE e-invoicing

Is Fiscal an accredited service provider?

No. Fiscal is your accounting and ERP software. It prepares the e-invoices and sends them through an accredited service provider, as the UAE rules require.

Is a PDF invoice by email still enough?

Not for B2B and B2G sales once e-invoicing applies to you. The invoice must be sent as a structured e-invoice through a service provider. You can still print or email a copy for your customer.

Do sales to consumers (B2C) need e-invoicing?

Not for now. The mandate covers business-to-business and business-to-government sales. Fiscal keeps issuing normal tax invoices for retail sales.

When do I need to start?

Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more from 1 January 2027, smaller businesses from 1 July 2027, and government entities from 1 October 2027. You need a service provider before that (see the deadlines above).

Can I use Fiscal in Arabic?

Yes. Every user can work in English or Arabic, and tax invoices print in both languages.

Do you help us get ready?

Yes. Exler Vision sets Fiscal up with your data, checks your customers' and items' details for e-invoicing, connects the service provider and trains your team.

Based on Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025 and later amendments. Check tax.gov.ae and mof.gov.ae for the latest rules.
