If your business turns over AED 50 million or more a year, you’re in the first mandatory phase of the UAE’s e-invoicing rollout – which means your deadlines land before everyone else’s.
Your two key dates
Appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026. Go live on PINT AE e-invoicing by 1 January 2027.
A practical readiness checklist
- Confirm your TRN(s) and branch structure across all trade licenses.
- Identify which ERP or accounting system(s) you currently invoice from – Tally Prime, Tally ERP 9, QuickBooks, Xero, SAP Business One, Zoho Books, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, eresource ERP or a custom system.
- Run a quick internal readiness check against the phase criteria above.
- Shortlist and appoint an Accredited Service Provider from the Ministry’s approved list.
- Map your invoice data to PINT AE’s required fields.
- Test the full 5-corner transmission flow before your go-live date, not after.
Why 30 October is earlier than it looks
Appointing an ASP is a scoping and integration project layered on top of your normal book-closing calendar, not a same-week task. Starting the process late in the year, after the typical September return-to-work period, leaves very little runway to test properly before go-live.
Dates and thresholds are set by the Ministry of Finance and FTA and can be updated, so confirm the current position through official channels before finalising internal timelines.
