Your e-invoicing phase
Appoint an ASP by 30 Oct 2026 (extended from 31 Jul 2026); issue e-invoices from 1 Jan 2027.
The UAE is rolling out mandatory electronic invoicing under Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025, with administrative penalties set by Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025. The roll-out is phased:
Only structured invoices exchanged through an ASP over Peppol count as valid e-invoices. Once you know your phase, see what the format requires with the PINT AE explainer and draft a sample invoice with the e-invoice generator.

A voluntary pilot programme begins on 1 July 2026. Mandatory issuance then follows in phases: businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more go live on 1 January 2027, businesses below AED 50 million on 1 July 2027, and government entities on 1 October 2027.
Large businesses (AED 50M+) must appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026 — extended from 31 July 2026 by the Ministry of Finance on 10 May 2026. Businesses below AED 50M and government entities must appoint an ASP by 31 March 2027.
Under Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025, failing to appoint an ASP by the prescribed date incurs an administrative penalty of AED 5,000 for each month of delay, alongside per-invoice penalties for non-compliant invoices.
The mandate covers B2B and B2G transactions (including eligible cross-border supplies). B2C transactions, some government activities, international passenger transport and certain exempt financial services are currently out of scope.
