Common questions
The four things people ask first.
Each answer is taken from the decision it links to. For your own situation, run the checker. Longer answers are in the guides on the deadline, the penalties, choosing a provider and freelancers.
I am not registered for VAT. Does it still apply?
Scope does not depend on VAT registration. The scope article applies to any person conducting business in the UAE and sets no VAT registration condition.
I only sell to individuals. Am I in scope?
Any person conducting business in the UAE, for every business transaction, unless the person or the transaction is excluded. Business-to-consumer transactions are not subject to the system, and a person engaged exclusively in them is not subject to it, until a further decision by the Minister.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
AED 5,000 for each month or part of a month of delay in implementing the system, including failing to appoint an accredited provider on time; AED 100 for each e-invoice or e-credit note not issued and transmitted on time, up to AED 5,000 per calendar month; AED 1,000 per day for failing to notify a system failure or a change in registered data on time.
What is an accredited provider?
A company accredited by the Ministry of Finance to send, receive and report e-invoices on your behalf. 65 accredited and 5 pre-approved under final assessment, as of 14 October 2026 are on the official list, and each accredited provider must offer 100 free e-invoice exchange and reporting services a year from the date the end-user agreement is signed.
