- The UAE Ministry of Finance has granted a 24-month grace period (starting 1 January 2027) for VAT groups to comply with e-invoicing requirements for intra-group transactions.
- This grace period only applies to transactions between members of the same VAT group, not to transactions with external parties or other business activities.
- VAT groups are encouraged to use this time to align systems, standardize data, and prepare for full compliance.
- After the grace period, full e-invoicing compliance for intra-group transactions will be mandatory.
- Early preparation is advised to avoid future compliance challenges and ensure a smooth transition.
