FAQ

E-Invoice questions

What is UAE mandatory e-invoicing?

The UAE is moving business invoices from paper and PDF to structured data. Invoices are exchanged through Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) over the Peppol network using a 5-corner model, and tax data is reported to the Federal Tax Authority. The rollout is phased, starting with larger businesses.

Where does E-Invoice sit in the 5-corner model?

E-Invoice is where your business works: you create and send invoices in Corner 1 and receive your suppliers’ invoices in Corner 4. Validation, delivery over Peppol and tax data reporting are handled through the accredited service provider.

How does E-Invoice price gold?

Enter gold in grams at a USD per-ounce rate with its purity. E-Invoice converts ounces to grams, applies purity, converts USD to AED, adds making charges, stone value and any discount or premium on the metal, then calculates VAT. Totals are locked so they cannot be typed over.

Can I create credit and debit notes?

Yes. Credit and debit notes link back to the original invoice and load its lines automatically.

Can I upload invoices in bulk?

Download an Excel template that already contains your clients, items and units as pick lists, fill in thousands of rows and preview the invoices before anything is saved.

How do supplier invoices arrive?

Supplier invoices sent over Peppol are matched to your company by TRN and appear with a live notification. Your finance team accepts or rejects each invoice once, and the decision is sent back through the network.
