It applies to any person conducting business in the UAE, for every business transaction; its Article 4 exclusions name specific transactions, such as certain airline services and VAT-exempt or zero-rated financial services, and leave excluded persons to a separate ministerial decision. Check the Ministry of Finance page before assuming you are out.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which e-invoicing deadline applies to my Dubai company?<\/h3>\n<p>The one its revenue sets: gross income in the most recent accounting period, per its financial statements (Ministerial Decision 244 of 2025, Article 1). At AED 50 million or more, appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and go live by 1 January 2027. Below that, the dates are 31 March 2027 and 1 July 2027.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Is a PDF invoice sent by email an e-invoice in the UAE?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The Ministry of Finance says unstructured formats such as PDF, Word documents, images, scanned copies and emails are not e-invoices. Under Ministerial Decision 243 of 2025, an e-invoice is issued, transmitted and received in a structured electronic format that allows automatic processing, through an Accredited Service Provider.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How does a Dubai company appoint an Accredited Service Provider?<\/h3>\n<p>Choose a provider from the Ministry of Finance&#8217;s list of Accredited Service Providers, contract and integrate with it, then complete the procedures on the Federal Tax Authority&#8217;s EmaraTax platform, the order the FTA set out on 29 September 2026.
