What a UAE tax invoice must show (Article 59, VAT Executive Regulation)
| Title | The words "Tax Invoice" clearly displayed |
|---|---|
| Supplier | Name, address and Tax Registration Number (TRN) |
| Customer | Name, address and TRN, where the customer is registered |
| Number and dates | Sequential invoice number, date of issue, and date of supply if different |
| Each line | Description, unit price, quantity or volume, VAT rate and amount payable in AED |
| Discount | The amount of any discount |
| Totals | Gross amount payable and VAT payable in AED, with the exchange rate if another currency is used |
| Reverse charge | A statement that the recipient must account for the VAT, where the reverse charge applies |
| Simplified tax invoice | Allowed when the customer is not VAT registered, or is registered and the supply is AED 10,000 or less |
| VAT rate | 5% standard; 0% for zero-rated supplies such as exports; some supplies exempt |
| E-invoicing | Mandatory electronic invoicing through an accredited provider starts 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more and 1 July 2027 for the rest (B2B and B2G) |
Worked example
An office-cleaning company bills 4 visits at AED 450 (AED 1,800) and supplies at AED 200, all standard rated. Taxable amount AED 2,000; VAT at 5% = AED 100; total AED 2,100.00.
Invoices in dollars or euros
You may price in another currency, but the VAT payable and the gross amount must also appear in AED, with the exchange rate. Choose the currency and enter the rate (1 USD = 3.6725 AED is the fixed peg); the invoice adds the AED lines.
E-invoicing from 2027
The UAE is moving B2B and B2G invoices to a national e-invoicing system run through Accredited Service Providers. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint a provider by 31 July 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027; the rest appoint by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. Once you are on e-invoicing, a PDF from a tool like this is no longer the tax invoice for B2B sales.
