What Is an Electronic Invoice?

An electronic invoice is invoice data created, exchanged and processed in a prescribed structured format.

A PDF, scanned invoice, image, Word document or invoice sent by email is not, by itself, a structured electronic invoice.

The UAE Electronic Invoicing System generally covers applicable:

Business-to-business transactions
Business-to-government transactions
Sales invoices
Outbound and inbound electronic documents

Business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions are currently excluded from the mandatory e-Invoicing requirements. The scope may be amended by the relevant authority in the future.

How UAE E-Invoicing Works

The supplier creates an invoice through its ERP, accounting software or web portal. The supplier’s Accredited Service Provider validates and transmits the structured invoice to the buyer’s Accredited Service Provider.

The buyer receives the invoice through its agreed system, while prescribed tax information is electronically reported to the Federal Tax Authority.

Electronic status messages communicate whether the document has been successfully validated, exchanged and reported.

Depending on the selected package and agreed scope, the solution may include:

Outbound and inbound document processing
Electronic invoice and credit-note validation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a PDF invoice considered an electronic invoice?

No. An e-invoice must contain structured data capable of being electronically validated, exchanged and processed.

Do supplier invoices count towards the document volume?

Under some plans, outbound invoices, inbound supplier invoices and credit notes count towards the same annual allowance. This will be confirmed in the proposal.

Do we need to replace our existing ERP?

Not necessarily. The business may use a direct API, ERP extension, smart connector, file upload or web portal, depending on its existing system.

Is ERP integration included?

API access may include documentation, sandbox access and platform-side support. ERP development or modification is not included unless expressly stated in the proposal.

How is pricing determined?

Does AVS transmit invoices to the Federal Tax Authority?

No. AVS provides consulting and implementation coordination. The regulated transmission and reporting services are performed through the appointed Accredited Service Provider.
