UAE E-Invoicing Readiness & Implementation Support

Alberts helps UAE businesses assess eInvoicing readiness, review VAT invoice and master data, evaluate accounting/ERP processes and coordinate implementation. Where a client appoints Techventures Information Technology Services, the accredited ASP and eInvoicing technology services are provided by Techventures (UAE Ministry of Finance Accreditation No. 105700), subject to the provider’s terms and technical assessment.

LEGAL BASIS

Ministerial Decision No. 243 of 2025 requires persons in scope to fulfil eInvoicing obligations through an Accredited Service Provider. The Ministry publishes the ASP list. The current official list shows Techventures Information Technology Services as Accredited Service Provider No. 105700; no “Alberts” entry appears on that list.

STRUCTURED DATA - USE THE OFFICIAL CONCEPT

The MoF defines an eInvoice as structured invoice data issued and exchanged electronically and reported to the FTA. The MoF expressly states that unstructured formats such as PDF, Word documents, images, scanned copies and emails are not eInvoices.

PUBLIC NOTE

UAE eInvoicing is being introduced in phases. Applicability depends on the business, transaction type and statutory exclusions. The framework applies broadly to persons conducting business in the UAE and is not limited to VAT-registered businesses. Business-toConsumer (B2C) transactions are currently outside mandatory implementation until otherwise determined by the Minister.

LEGAL BASIS

Ministerial Decision No. 243 of 2025 (scope/exclusions); Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025 (B2C and phases), as amended by Ministerial Resolution No. 66 of 2026; UAE Electronic Invoicing Guidelines V1.0.
