What is e-Invoicing in the UAE?
e-Invoicing in the UAE is the electronic issuance, exchange, and reporting of invoice data in a specified format that enables automated invoice processing from accounting or ERP systems. The UAE Electronic Invoicing System is based on the Peppol framework and uses a decentralised Continuous Transaction Control and Exchange (DCTCE) model, commonly known as the 5-corner model.
According to the UAE Ministry of Finance, a valid e-invoice generated in PINT-AE XML format must be exchanged between a buyer and seller via an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) only and simultaneously reported to the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA). With our UAE e-invoicing add-on for Sage ERP, compliance with these mandates becomes simple and stress-free.
