- The UAE Ministry of Finance and Federal Tax Authority have introduced a national e-invoicing system, with regulations, penalties, and detailed guidelines released between September 2025 and February 2026.
- E-invoicing is mandatory for all business transactions in the UAE, including B2B, B2G, G2B, and G2G, regardless of VAT registration or establishment, with limited exclusions.
- The pilot phase starts on 1 July 2026, followed by voluntary and three mandatory phases based on revenue and entity type, with final implementation for all by 1 October 2027.
- VAT groups have a 24-month grace period for intragroup transactions; external transactions must comply according to each member’s timeline.
- Businesses must appoint Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) and comply with mandatory e-invoice fields and guidelines.
