- Phase 1 go-live 1 January 2027
- Works with your ERP
E-invoicing in the UAE replaces PDF and paper invoices with structured invoices exchanged through Accredited Service Providers in PINT AE, the UAE's Peppol-based format, with the data reported to the Federal Tax Authority. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint a provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027. Everyone else must appoint one by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027.
Choosing a provider is the easy part. The work is underneath it: customer and supplier records with missing or wrong TRNs, invoice fields your ERP does not hold, and an accounting system that was never built to send structured data anywhere. That is the part we do.
What is included
- Readiness assessment. Your invoicing flows, systems and data checked against PINT AE, with the gaps ranked by what would block go-live.
- Master data cleanup. Customer and supplier records corrected, including TRNs, addresses and duplicates, so invoices are not rejected on data quality.
- PINT AE field mapping. Every mandatory field mapped from your ERP or accounting system, with the ones it does not hold identified early.
- Integration with your ASP. Your ERP connected to the accredited service provider you choose, for sending and receiving invoices.
- Testing and go-live. Test invoices run end to end before the mandatory date, with every rejection traced back to its cause.
- Process changes. Your finance team shown what changes in day-to-day invoicing, credit notes and corrections.
We are not an Accredited Service Provider and do not transmit invoices. You appoint an ASP from the Ministry of Finance's list; we prepare your data and systems and connect them to it. The deadlines have moved before, so confirm the current dates with the Ministry of Finance.

Questions
When does e-invoicing become mandatory in the UAE?
Under the announced timeline, businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and start e-invoicing on 1 January 2027. Businesses below that threshold must appoint one by 31 March 2027 and start on 1 July 2027. Voluntary adoption opened on 1 July 2026.
What is an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?
An ASP is a provider accredited by the UAE Ministry of Finance to exchange e-invoices between businesses and report the data to the Federal Tax Authority. Every business in scope must appoint one. We are not an ASP; we prepare your systems and connect them to the one you choose.
What is PINT AE?
PINT AE is the UAE's version of the Peppol international invoice format. It defines the fields every e-invoice must carry, which is why most of the preparation work is mapping and cleaning the data your ERP holds.
How much does e-invoicing readiness cost?
It depends on your invoice volumes, the number of systems that issue invoices and the state of your customer and supplier data. The quotation on this site gives you a scoped estimate in AED.
