The UAE Ministry of Finance has officially unveiled the CTC e-invoicing framework during the 2024 Dubai E-invoicing Exchange Summit. The framework, which has been highly anticipated, aims to modernize invoicing processes across the country. In this blog post, we'll explore the current state of e-invoicing in the UAE, including legal frameworks, government initiatives, and future developments. UAE Decentralized Continuous Transactions Control and Exchange (DCTCE) Framework: Under the CTC e-Invoicing framework introduced on 14th Feb 2024, the UAE has chosen to adopt the DCTCE or 5-corner model, utilizing Peppol specifications. This decision aligns the UAE with other nations like Singapore and Belgium, who have already implemented similar modern CTC models. The UAE plans to establish its own Peppol Authority and utilize Peppol PINT as the format for e-invoices. nitially, the framework will cover B2B and B2G transactions, with plans to address B2C transactions in the future. The Ministry of Finance has clarified that they do not intend to develop an e-invoice portal for SMEs. Instead, Accredited Service Providers (SPs) will play a crucial role in facilitating e-invoicing. However, the Ministry is considering offering limited free-of-charge services as one of the criteria for SP accreditation.

However, the Ministry is considering offering limited free-of-charge services as one of the criteria for SP accreditation. e-Invoicing Implementation in UAE: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Finance has recently unveiled plans to implement mandatory real-time payments and electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) for business-to-business (B2B) and B2G Transactions. Implementation Plan: Q3 2024: Development of ASP certification requirements and procedures, along with the creation of a UAE data dictionary. Q2 2025: Release of e-invoicing legislation. December 2025: Implementation of a rollout strategy, including a schedule based on taxpayers' size. July 2026: Phase 1 implementation for reporting, with a gradual introduction based on company size. However, companies will have the option to voluntarily opt-in for reporting earlier than the scheduled timelines. Technical Requirements: The UAE appears to be drawing inspiration from Saudi Arabia's successful e-invoicing implementation in December 2021. Similar to the Saudi model, the UAE is likely to adopt a phased approach, beginning with a voluntary phase leading up to the mandatory implementation in July 2025. The system will allow businesses to generate QR Code e-invoices for both B2B and B2C transactions. An approved 'E-Invoice Generation Solution' will facilitate this process. Integration into the Ministry of Finance's validation platform will include basic checks and e-signatures for customer approval as part of Continuous Transaction Controls. Accepted formats for e-invoices will include UBL-XML or PDF with embedded XML, ensuring compatibility with industry standards. Conclusion: As the UAE embraces digital transformation and paperless initiatives, the shift towards mandatory e-invoicing seems inevitable. Businesses operating in the UAE should stay informed about evolving regulations and prepare for the potential mandate, ensuring a seamless transition to electronic invoicing in compliance with UAE VAT laws. The UAE's commitment to implementing mandatory B2B e-invoicing and real-time payments marks a significant leap toward a digitally advanced financial ecosystem. With a clear roadmap and phased approach, businesses in the UAE can prepare for this transformative change, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and compliance in their financial transactions. The move aligns with global trends towards digitalization and positions the UAE as a forward-thinking player in the realm of electronic invoicing.
