How an e-invoice travels in the UAE
The UAE uses a five-corner exchange model. Invoices move as structured data in the PINT AE format, based on Peppol, through accredited service providers, with tax data reported to the Federal Tax Authority.
ERP or invoicing software creates the invoice as structured data.
Validates the invoice and sends it over the network.
Receives the invoice and validates it again.
Receives structured data straight into their system.
Receives the tax data reported by the service providers.
What is an ASP?
An Accredited Service Provider is accredited by the Ministry of Finance to validate, exchange and report e-invoices. Every business in scope must appoint one. Prime Technology is not an ASP; Prime works with accredited ASPs and connects your systems to them.
Who is in scope?
Businesses carrying out business-to-business and business-to-government transactions in the UAE, and government entities. Business-to-consumer transactions are not subject to the system until a later decision, and Ministerial Decision No. 197 of 2026 lists specific excluded transactions.
What does “ready” mean?
An owner and budget, an appointed ASP, a system that produces PINT AE data, clean master data for you and your customers, and a process for rejections and credit notes. Those are the five areas this check scores.

Questions UAE businesses ask
What are the UAE e-invoicing deadlines?
Revenue of AED 50 million or more: appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026 and implement by 1 January 2027. Below AED 50 million: appoint by 31 March 2027 and implement by 1 July 2027. Government entities: appoint by 31 March 2027 and implement by 1 October 2027. Pilot and voluntary adoption started on 1 July 2026.
How is the AED 50 million threshold measured?
Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025 defines revenue as the gross income earned in your most recent accounting period, based on your financial statements. If you are unsure, plan for the earlier dates.
What is an ASP and do we need one?
Yes. An Accredited Service Provider is accredited by the Ministry of Finance to validate and exchange e-invoices and report the data to the Federal Tax Authority. Every business in scope must appoint one by its deadline.
What happens if we miss the deadline?
The Federal Tax Authority has stated that an administrative penalty of AED 5,000 applies for each month, or part of a month, of delay. Penalties apply from the date you are required to implement.
Are any transactions excluded?
Business-to-consumer transactions are not subject to the system until a later decision. Ministerial Decision No. 197 of 2026 also excludes certain transactions, including some airline passenger and cargo services, VAT-exempt or zero-rated financial services, and transactions between members of the same tax group for 24 months from 1 January 2027. Check the decision for the exact conditions.
What format do e-invoices use?
Structured data following the PINT AE specification, based on Peppol, with the mandatory fields published by the Ministry of Finance. A PDF or scanned invoice is not an e-invoice.
Is Prime Technology an accredited service provider?
No. Prime Technology is not an ASP. Prime works with accredited ASPs and connects your systems to them, and can help you assess, choose, integrate, test and go live.
