E-invoicing is coming to the UAE. Be ready in minutes, not months.
From July 2027, every VAT-registered business must issue and receive invoices through the FTA's e-invoicing network. The businesses that digitize their documents now will barely notice the switch.
The official timeline
July 2026
Pilot phase begins with selected businesses.
January 2027
Mandatory for large businesses (revenue ≥ AED 50M).
July 2027
Mandatory for ALL VAT-registered businesses — including yours.
What actually changes
Invoices become structured XML documents transmitted through FTA-accredited service providers over the Peppol network — PDFs and Excel files will no longer count.
The FTA will cross-reference e-invoicing data against your VAT returns and corporate tax filings in near-real time. Clean, complete records stop being good practice and become survival.
How Taw gets you ready today
Structured from day one
Every document you capture is already clean, structured data — seller, TRN, line items, VAT — the exact fields e-invoicing requires.
TRN and VAT checked
Taw validates seller TRNs and recomputes VAT on every capture, so your records are audit-ready before the mandate ever arrives.
Everything archived
Original documents stay attached to their data. When your accountant — or the FTA — asks, it's one click, not a shoebox.
