- Regional E-Invoicing Initiatives: The Middle East is undergoing a digital tax transformation with countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Bahrain leading the charge in implementing mandatory e-invoicing systems. These initiatives aim to modernize tax frameworks, reduce fraud, and streamline compliance for businesses.
- Country-Specific Developments:
- Bahrain plans to introduce an e-invoicing framework by late 2025, focusing on real-time reporting.
- Egypt is expanding its e-invoicing requirements to nearly all VAT-registered businesses, with compliance penalties for non-adherence.
- Israel will implement continuous transaction control for high-value invoices starting January 2026.
- Future Outlook and Business Preparedness: As various countries prepare for their e-invoicing rollouts, including the UAE by 2026 and Oman restarting its initiative, businesses must proactively adapt their systems to comply with new regulations. Early adoption will not only ensure compliance but also enhance operational efficiency and reduce risks associated with tax reporting.
