The recent amendment to VAT Executive Regulations Articles 59 and 60 mandates that tax invoices and credit notes must now align with the Electronic Invoicing System (EIS). Once a business is included in the EIS, either voluntarily or mandatorily, it must issue full standard e-invoices and e-credit notes via the system, overriding previous exceptions like the use of simplified invoices or those for wholly zero-rated supplies. The legacy rules for invoices and credit notes will remain in effect until a business’s specific phase begins or they voluntarily opt in. The phased rollout of the EIS starts in July 2026, with the largest taxpayers (AED 50M+ revenue) going live by January 1, 2027, followed by later waves during 2027.
