The work depends on what you invoice from today. The Ready Check tells you which route you are on.
Route 1 Most common
For: Wafeq, Xero, Zoho Books. Read our Xero e-invoicing guide
Your software includes e-invoicing through an accredited provider, often at no extra cost. Your data and settings still need to be ready.
We do
Route 2
For: QuickBooks and similar ledgers
Your software has no built-in e-invoicing, so it connects to an accredited provider. The choice of ASP matters: cost, fit and how cleanly it connects.
We do
Route 3
For: ERPs, e-commerce and industry systems
No ready-made integration exists, so your system connects to an ASP through its API. More moving parts, more lead time.
We do
Xero and Wafeq now include e-invoicing at no extra cost. The goal is still the same: invoices keep going out and getting paid from day one, and supplier e-invoices land in your books without retyping. This is the work that gets you there.
Your tax rates have to be matched to the e-invoicing tax categories before anything sends, for sales and for purchases.
Xero, for example, will not send an e-invoice to a customer with no address, and needs the emirate spelt exactly, a 15-digit TRN and a business registration number in a set format.
Deemed supplies, agent billing, free zone, e-commerce, continuous supply and reverse charge lines need specific codes on the invoice. Your accountant decides the treatment; the setup has to carry it.
Emailing a PDF no longer counts. Your team sends from the e-invoicing route, every time, including repeating invoices.
If you invoice from Stripe, a billing tool or an e-commerce platform, those invoices need a plan too, or they fall outside your e-invoicing route.
If customers make you upload invoices to portals such as DEWA, check with your accountant how that sits alongside e-invoicing. We help you run both processes.
Requirements described from Xero’s published UAE e-invoicing help article (November 2026). Other systems have similar steps.

Priced on your route, number of entities and data
We shortlist from accredited providers we know well, and tell you when another provider is the better fit for your system.
MoF accreditation no. 175257
MoF accreditation no. 129932
MoF accreditation no. 178533
MoF accreditation no. 121988All four appear on the Ministry of Finance list of eInvoicing Accredited Service Providers (see the full list). We partner with these providers and may earn a fee when you choose one. We recommend on fit, not fee.
Your team still raises invoices in your accounting system. What changes is how they travel and what has to be on them.
In-scope invoices travel as structured data in the UAE format (PINT AE), not as PDFs. The Ministry of Finance lists 51 mandatory fields, most of them drawn from records you already keep.
Latest changes
We track Ministry of Finance e-invoicing publications and update this page when the rules change. This is a plain-English summary, not tax advice.
Yes. Every in-scope business must appoint an Accredited Service Provider in EmaraTax. When e-invoicing is built into your software, the provider comes with it: Xero works with Casim, while Zoho Books and Wafeq are accredited providers themselves. You still register, appoint the provider and get your data ready.
Xero says UAE e-invoicing is included at no extra cost on its Starter, Standard and Premium plans, through Casim, which is built into Xero. You register in Xero’s Invoici platform with your Xero login, accept the Casim agreement and appoint Casim in EmaraTax. As of November 2026, Xero’s own help article describes the service as pre-live: sending and receiving work on the Peppol test network, with production access promised before the mandate takes effect. The setup is free; the work is in your data, tax mapping and send process, which is where we help.
Yes. Wafeq says UAE e-invoicing is included at no extra cost on its Starter, Plus and Premium plans, with no per-invoice fees, and Wafeq is itself an accredited provider (Ministry of Finance accreditation no. 129932). You switch it on in Wafeq and appoint Wafeq FZ-LLC in EmaraTax. Wafeq also offers an API for businesses that want to keep invoicing from an ERP or e-commerce platform. Scope is a Wafeq Platinum Partner.
For Xero users, Xero lists the customer’s legal or trading name, their legal trading address with the emirate spelt exactly (an e-invoice cannot be sent without an address), their 15-digit TRN, and a business registration number such as a trade licence with its licensing authority. Other systems need similar data. We give you a collection template and bulk-update your records.
QuickBooks Online does not include UAE e-invoicing, so you need an accredited provider connected to it. We shortlist providers that connect cleanly, compare their costs and set up the connection.
Yes. The rules apply regardless of VAT registration, to invoices between businesses and to government. Sales to consumers are excluded for now. Registration is tied to your FTA tax registration; Xero, for example, accepts a Corporate Tax registration number for businesses without a VAT number.
The Ministry of Finance lists 51 mandatory fields, plus conditional ones. Most come from data already in your accounting system, which is why clean customer records, tax numbers and templates matter more than retyping anything.
The appointment date was 30 October 2026 and go-live is 1 January 2027, so act now. Penalties for failing to implement build up monthly. We can confirm your route and run a compressed plan: book a call today.
It depends on your route. Built-in software is fastest; custom ERP connections take longest. The Impact Assessment takes 10 working days and gives you a dated plan and an implementation quote.
Often, yes. We work with accounting firms that offer e-invoicing to their clients and deliver the work behind them. If your firm is not set up for it, we can work with you directly.
