From 2027, invoices between UAE businesses will have to be issued as structured electronic data, passed through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) and reported to the Federal Tax Authority. A PDF sent by email is no longer enough. The rules cover business-to-business and business-to-government invoices, while sales to consumers are outside the mandate for now.

TejEnt Solutions LLP helps UAE businesses, and the teams that support them, get ready, get connected and go live. We start with where you are today, work alongside your ERP and finance teams, and stay with you after the first invoices go through.

Dates Worth Knowing

How We Can Help

Pick one piece or take the whole journey with us.

We work out which phase and date apply to you, then look at how invoices are created today across your ERP, billing tools and spreadsheets.

You get a short gap report against the mandatory data fields, along with a plan that names the tasks, the owners and the effort involved.

We set up your ERP to produce invoices and credit notes in the structure the UAE system expects, and connect it to your service provider.

Everything is tested end to end with real situations, such as credit notes, discounts and different tax treatments, before you go live.

Every business in scope has to appoint an Accredited Service Provider. We work with an ASP partner, so you are not starting a vendor search from zero.

We help with scoping, onboarding and the technical connection, and we stay involved through testing and go-live.

We train your finance, sales and IT teams on the new flow: how an invoice is issued, what happens when one is rejected, and how to correct a mistake.

After go-live, you have someone to call when something does not look right.

If you run SAP, we offer a packaged solution that combines SAP e-invoicing set-up with an ASP connection.

You deal with one partner instead of coordinating an ERP team and a service provider separately.

Why Start Early

E-invoicing for UAE
  • Know your date: whether you are in the first wave or the second, you can work back from a fixed deadline.
  • Fewer surprises: problems show up in testing, not on your first rejected invoice.
  • Less retyping: invoice data flows from your ERP, so finance is not rekeying anything.
  • One accountable partner: advice, ERP changes and provider onboarding are handled together.
  • Tidier records: structured invoices are easier to store, search and audit.

Not sure where you stand? Send us your approximate annual revenue and the ERP you use, and we will tell you which date applies to you and what to do first.
