The UAE e invoicing model and Peppol framework
How Will E Invoices Be Exchanged in the UAE?
The UAE uses a Peppol based DCTCE five corner model. This means every e invoice is exchanged as structured data through accredited service providers and reported to the Federal Tax Authority.

The invoice flow:
​Your system (ERP, billing, accounting).
​
Your accredited service provider (sender ASP). ​
​
Buyer’s accredited service provider (receiver ASP).
​
Buyer’s system.
​
Federal Tax Authority (FTA) reporting.
You can no longer rely on PDF email invoicing once the mandate applies.
E-invoices must flow through this Peppol based infrastructure.

Preparation process for UAE e invoicing
UAE e invoicing requires a simple step by step preparation. First, understand what you need to change and choose your Accredited Service Provider. Then connect your ERP or billing system, map your invoice data, and test the full flow. When you go live, monitor the process, handle exceptions, and keep improving for smoother invoicing.


Who is in the scope?
Based on the UAE rollout approach, e invoicing will apply first to:
VAT registered businesses
​
Medium and large enterprises​
High volume transaction sectors, such as:
Construction
Logistics
Travel and tourism
Professional services
E- commerce
SMEs will follow in later phases and are not exempt.
Accepted E-ınvoice format in the UAE
UAE e-invoices must be issued as structured invoice data, not as simple PDFs. Invoices will be exchanged through the Peppol network using the UAE approved schema based on Peppol standards such as PINT AE.
​
What this means for you:
​
-
Your ERP must generate structured invoice data
-
PDF only invoices will not be compliant once the mandate applies
-
Correct field mapping is required to avoid rejections​
