Scope and Exemptions: UAE’s updated e-invoicing framework applies to nearly all businesses, including foreign taxable persons, with exemptions for government sovereign entities, international transport, VAT-exempt financial services, and other activities specified by the Minister of Finance.
Phased Rollout Timeline: The system launches with a pilot phase on July 1, 2026, voluntary adoption from the same date, mandatory compliance for large businesses from January 1, 2027, expanding to smaller businesses and government entities later.
Compliance Requirements: Businesses under mandatory e-invoicing must appoint an Accredited Service Provider and store all electronic documents within the UAE, covering B2B and B2G transactions, while B2C transactions remain exempt.
