e-Invoicing mandatory in the UAE from 2026: Get ready

If you are VAT-registered in the UAE, you will need to send and receive invoices electronically via a standardized system starting from 2026. This system, based on the Peppol model, enables secure and efficient exchange of invoices.

Invoices will be transmitted through certified Peppol Access Points, which will validate the data and forward it directly to the UAE tax authority. You will also be required to apply electronic signatures and store invoices electronically for ten years.

Why this change?

The UAE aims to simplify and standardize invoicing processes and improve tax reporting with the new “E-Billing System.” For your organization, this means fewer manual processes, but it also means you must adapt your systems to meet new electronic standards.

• Q4 2024: Development of requirements and certification procedures.
• Q2 2025: Publication of the e-invoicing legislation.
• Q2 2026: Phase 1 launch: mandatory e-invoicing for B2B and B2G transactions.

Don't wait until 2026. Start now by assessing the impact on your organization. Ask yourself: Are our invoicing systems ready? What changes are needed to stay compliant?
