E-invoicing
Services in Dubai
The business world is digitalising so rapidly, and the UAE is well-positioned to follow global trends. Electronic Invoicing has successfully been launched in the UAE, with proper implementation expected to be completed in July 2026. The Ministry of Finance has not only updated some provisions of the VAT law but has also released the implementation deadlines. This means it is now high time for businesses to start preparing for the integration of the e-invoicing system and select their Accredited Service Providers (ASPs), who will assist them in doing so.
Tax Gian is going to be one of the ASPs (application in progress with MOF) for the purposes of UAE e-invoicing. Our VAT agents in the UAE will provide you with complete support and guidance on the implementation and compliance with the new tax regulations.
The E-Invoicing System
The E-invoicing system in the UAE replaces the traditional invoicing method (PDF formats) with the digital format (XML). This makes financial transactions more efficient and transparent. This system allows businesses to streamline invoicing operations, maintain accurate records, save time on processing, and comply with ease with the FTA standards.
How Does the E-Invoicing Work?
The process is straightforward and involves a 5-corners approach:
- Corner 1 is the supplier’s business software.
- Corner 2 is the supplier’s sending ASP.
- Corner 3 is the buyer’s receiving ASP.
- Corner 4 is the buyer’s business software.
- Corner 5 is the Central Data Platform.
A single e-invoice circulates between these 5 corners to ensure its digitalisation, processing and validation. An MLS (message level status) completes successful reporting of the invoice.
- C1 sends the invoice data to C2.
- After validating, C2 forwards the data to C3 and C5.
- After validating, C3 sends MLS to C2.
- C3 sends the invoice data to C4 and C5.
- C5 sends MLS to C2 and C3.
- C2 sends MLS from C3 and C5 to C1.
- C3 sends MLS from C5 to C4.
