UAE e-invoicing becomes mandatory in phases through 2027 for in-scope B2B and B2G transactions, exchanged through an accredited service provider. B2C transactions are outside the current mandatory scope. Word and PDF documents do not qualify, and most companies' data would be rejected today.

| Your annual revenue | Appoint provider by | E-invoicing live from |
|---|---|---|
| Any — voluntary | whenever you choose | from 1 July 2026 |

Once your phase begins: AED 100 for each in-scope invoice not issued electronically, capped at AED 5,000 a month, with a separate cap of the same size for credit notes, and AED 5,000 a month for not implementing the system or appointing a provider. A non-compliant document can also stall your customer's accounts payable process and weaken your tax evidence, though the penalty decision does not say the commercial obligation to pay disappears.
Before your phase begins, none of that applies. The penalty regime expressly excludes businesses issuing voluntarily (Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025, Article 2(2)). Joining early buys you a period in which rejections carry no penalty under that decision, and that period closes on the date your phase starts. Your other VAT, tax and contractual obligations continue as normal, and so do the costs of getting the data right.
Three stages, and you keep your accounting system and your provider throughout.
Where your data stands against the rules your provider will apply.
Classification codes, counterparty tax numbers, transaction types.
Configuration kept current as the specification changes, and it changes.
What each stage involves, who it suits, and the questions companies ask ›
Tell us what you use and what you carry. We come back with what we would need and what the check would cover.
Not ready to send anything? Fair enough. Read a full sample report first — a complete review of a company that does not exist, with every number produced by the same tools. Or start from whichever accounting system you use — what it is missing, and which part of that is the vendor's problem rather than yours. The browser checks never send your data anywhere.
Email hello@involane.com or message +971 50 597 2615 on WhatsApp. Tell us what you invoice with and roughly how many items and counterparties you carry. We reply with what to send and how.
Do not attach invoice data to that first message. We will agree a transfer method with you first. Everything we ask for, and the list of things we never ask for, is set out on one page: no passwords, no logins, no access to any live system.
Prefer to see something before you write? The browser checks run entirely on your own machine and send nothing anywhere, and the sample report shows the full output on invented data.
There is no upload form here yet. We would rather say that plainly than build one that quietly does nothing while we sort out secure transfer.
