UAE E-Invoicing: What Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Customers Need to Know

The United Arab Emirates is taking a major step toward full digital tax transformation with the introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing (e-Invoicing). The Ministry of Finance (UAE) (MoF) and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) have announced that all VAT-registered businesses will need to issue structured e-invoices for B2B and B2G transactions, expected to become mandatory by 1 July 2026.
This move aligns with the UAE’s commitment to a smarter, more transparent digital economy and convergence with international standards such as the PEPPOL Authority network.

Why the Change Matters

E-Invoicing eliminates manual and paper-based invoicing, reducing errors, fraud, and administrative cost. It provides real-time transaction visibility to the FTA and helps organisations improve compliance, accelerate payments and streamline financial operations.
Key benefits include:

  • Faster invoice approval and payment cycles

  • Reduced cost of processing and storage

  • Enhanced accuracy and audit-readiness

  • Integration with national and international e-invoicing networks

The UAE E-Invoicing Model

The UAE will follow a Decentralised Continuous Transaction Control & Exchange (DCTCE) model. Suppliers will send e-invoices in a structured format (PINT-AE XML) through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) to the buyer’s ASP and the FTA’s platform.
This ensures:

  • Secure and verifiable exchange

  • Standardised formats and identifiers (TRN, timestamps, etc.)

  • Real-time reporting to the tax authority

Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations: What’s New from Microsoft

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance (and the broader Finance & Operations suite) already includes an Electronic Invoicing service — a scalable cloud-based solution to comply with country-specific mandates.
For the UAE, Microsoft has confirmed inclusion in the roadmap as “Planned for 2025 release wave 2”, with the enforcement effective 1 July 2026.
Specifically this will support:

  • Generation of e-invoices in the PEPPOL International (PINT) format

  • Secure submission via third-party PEPPOL Access Points (such as Edicom)

  • Configurable workflows for digital signing, validation and tracking

How Companies Using Dynamics 365 Should Prepare

Organisations running Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations should begin preparing now:
