The UAE Ministry of Finance and Federal Tax Authority are introducing e-invoicing to digitise invoice reporting and improve tax transparency. The rollout is phased: the system goes live with a pilot and voluntary use from July 2026 and becomes operational from October 2026.
E-invoicing then becomes mandatory from 1 January 2027 for businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more, from 1 July 2027 for all other businesses, and from 1 October 2027 for government (B2G) transactions.
Businesses should use the time before their deadline to assess current invoicing systems, shortlist an Accredited Service Provider, plan ERP integration, and align output with the official UAE invoice format (PINT AE).
HST supports the full lifecycle — readiness assessment, ASP selection, FTA alignment checks, staff training and process optimisation — so your transition is compliant and sustainable.
