Get Ready for UAE
E-Invoicing Phase-1
Connect your existing ERP or Accounting system to a compliant PINT AE e-invoicing solution — without replacing your current software.
Appoint Your FTA-Accredited ASP Before the Mandatory E-Invoicing Deadline
Under Ministerial Decision No. 243 and 244 of 2025, all UAE businesses must issue B2B and B2G invoices in PINT AE XML format through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) on the Peppol network. Businesses with revenues of AED 50M+ must appoint their ASP by 31 July 2026 — or face fines of AED 5,000 per month from day one of non-compliance.

Why You Should Prepare Now?
Preparing early for UAE e-invoicing Phase 1 can save your business time, stress, and potential compliance headaches.
Here’s why acting now matters:
✅ Avoid Penalties Under Cabinet Resolution No. 106 of 2025
Non-compliance with UAE e-invoicing carries official fines of AED 5,000 per month. Businesses that adopt voluntarily before their deadline are fully exempt, making early preparation the simplest way to eliminate compliance risk.
✅ Works with Your Existing ERP or Accounting Software
No system replacement needed. Your ERP data is mapped to the PINT AE data dictionary and routed through an ASP. Your finance team keeps working exactly as before.
✅ PEPPOL-Ready for Compliant B2B and B2G Invoice Exchange
Invoices are structured in PINT AE XML format, built on UBL 2.1, and transmitted via the Peppol 5-corner network. Each invoice is validated, digitally signed, and reported to the FTA’s e-Billing platform in near real time.
✅ Full Phase-1 UAE E-Invoicing Compliance from Day One
From PINT AE schema validation and digital signatures to UAE-based e-archiving, every FTA requirement under the Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) is covered before the pilot begins on 1 July 2026.

Built for Compliance, Security, and Scale
The solution is fully aligned with UAE VAT record-keeping requirements and the FTA’s Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) — covering both electronic tax invoices and commercial e-invoices for B2B and B2G transactions.
Every invoice is generated in PINT AE XML format — the FTA-mandated standard built on UBL 2.1 and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 — with all mandatory fields, including TRN, VAT breakdown, and digital signature correctly populated before transmission.
All documents are stored in a secure, tamper-proof e-archiving environment, with fast retrieval and advanced encryption to protect data integrity and meet national compliance requirements.
The platform connects to your existing ERP via API, maps your data to the PINT AE schema, and transmits each invoice through the Peppol network — simultaneously reporting the Tax Data Document (TDD) to the FTA’s Control Data Platform (CDP) in near real time. No software replacement required.
From ASP onboarding via EmaraTax to user acceptance testing (UAT) and go-live, full implementation support is included — so your team is compliant and confident well before your phase deadline.
Built on scalable cloud infrastructure, the platform grows with your business — from initial B2B compliance today to B2G and eventual B2C transaction volumes as the mandate expands.

Frequently Ask Questions
Phase 1 is the first mandatory stage of the UAE Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) under Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025. Businesses with AED 50M+ annual revenue must issue B2B and B2G invoices in PINT AE XML format through an FTA-accredited ASP, effective 1 January 2027. The pilot opens 1 July 2026.
Your ERP connects to an FTA-accredited ASP via API. The ASP maps your invoice data to the PINT AE schema (UBL 2.1), validates all mandatory fields, applies a digital signature, and transmits the invoice through the Peppol network — while reporting the Tax Data Document (TDD) to the FTA's Control Data Platform in near real time.
No. Whether you use SAP, Tally, QuickBooks, Sage, or any other system, your existing software stays in place. Invoice data is mapped to the PINT AE data dictionary at the ASP level, with no changes to your internal workflows.
Yes. The solution is built specifically for UAE e-invoicing compliance — supporting PINT AE XML format, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, digital signatures, and UAE-based e-archiving. It covers all FTA technical and legal requirements under Ministerial Decision No. 243 and 244 of 2025.
Cabinet Resolution No. 106 of 2025 sets official fines of AED 5,000 per month from your first day of non-compliance. PDF and paper invoices are also no longer valid for B2B and B2G transactions under the EIS mandate — meaning unprepared businesses risk both penalties and rejected invoices.
Most businesses complete ERP data mapping, PINT AE alignment, ASP onboarding via EmaraTax, and UAT testing within a few weeks. Starting early also gives you time to test in the FTA sandbox before your mandatory go-live date.
PINT AE (Peppol International Invoice – UAE) is the official e-invoice format mandated by the UAE Ministry of Finance. Built on UBL 2.1 and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, it defines the exact XML structure, mandatory fields, and validation rules every invoice must follow. Any invoice that doesn't conform to the PINT AE schema will be rejected by the ASP and won't reach the FTA — making it legally invalid for B2B and B2G transactions.
No. Under the Electronic Invoicing System (EIS), PDF, paper, scanned, and manually created invoices are no longer accepted as valid tax invoices for B2B and B2G transactions. Only structured PINT AE XML invoices transmitted through an FTA-accredited ASP over the Peppol network qualify as legally compliant.
An Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is an FTA-approved intermediary that validates, digitally signs, and transmits your PINT AE XML invoices through the Peppol network — while simultaneously reporting tax data to the FTA's Control Data Platform. Every business in scope for UAE e-invoicing is legally required to appoint an ASP before their applicable deadline. Without one, you cannot issue compliant invoices.
All e-invoices must be stored within the UAE in a secure, tamper-proof environment — for a minimum of 5 years under UAE VAT law and 7 years where Corporate Tax applies. The solution includes UAE-based e-archiving with encryption and fast retrieval, ensuring your records are always audit-ready and accessible to the FTA on request.
