- Mandatory e-invoicing by 2027 (phased): Large taxpayers (annual revenue ≥ AED 50M) must implement e-invoicing by January 1, 2027, while smaller taxpayers and government entities follow in mid-2027 and October 2027, respectively. A voluntary pilot starts on July 1, 2026.
- Peppol-based Continuous Transaction Control (CTC): The UAE e-invoicing framework uses a decentralized 5-corner Peppol model, where certified service providers transmit e-invoices and report tax data to the Federal Tax Authority. XML invoices with mandatory electronic signatures ensure authenticity and integrity.
-
Accredited Service Providers and Compliance: Businesses must appoint an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) to connect to the system. EDICOM is certified as a Pre-Approved e-Invoicing Service Provider and Peppol Access Point, supporting both B2B and B2G compliance and integration with existing enterprise systems.
