- The UAE Ministry of Finance has issued new e-invoicing guidance to enhance transparency, efficiency, and competitiveness under the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.
- The guidance includes phased implementation, requirements for Accredited Service Providers (ASPs), XML formats, and Tax Identification Numbers (TINs), and details on scope, exclusions, compliance timelines, and onboarding.
- The UAE will use a decentralized 5-corner Peppol-based model involving suppliers, buyers, their ASPs, and the Federal Tax Authority.
- Legal compliance remains with the supplier or buyer, while ASPs handle operational tasks.
- All business transactions in the UAE are in scope (not just VAT-registered businesses), with specific rules for investment holding companies, VAT groups, and non-UAE established persons; phased deadlines start from July 2026 for pilots and January/July 2027 for large and small businesses.
