UAE Updates E-Invoicing Regulations and Sets Deadlines for Large Enterprises
The UAE Ministry of Finance has introduced Ministerial Decisions No. 168 and No. 197 of 2026, clarifying compliance rules and provider accreditation for the national e-invoicing programme. Enterprises with annual revenues of AED 50 million or more must appoint an accredited service provider by 30 October 2026, ahead of the mandatory launch on 1 January 2027. The new rules also allow cross-border invoice data storage and introduce a temporary 24-month exemption for formal VAT Tax Group transactions.
