The UAE Ministry of Finance has taken a significant step in its digital transformation journey with the issuance of Ministerial Decision No. 64 of 2025, establishing a regulatory framework for the Electronic Invoicing System.
This milestone ensures greater efficiency, security, and compliance within the nation’s financial ecosystem.
The Decision sets out eligibility criteria, accreditation procedures, and compliance obligations for eInvoicing service providers, including tax registration, structured digital formats, and adherence to Peppol interoperability standards. Only accredited providers will be authorised to issue eInvoices and credit notes, ensuring seamless tax data reporting to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
To streamline the process, the Ministry has launched the Accreditation of eInvoicing Service Providers Portal, a dedicated digital platform for managing accreditation applications, renewals, and compliance monitoring. Service providers must meet strict security and operational requirements, with accreditation valid for two years and subject to renewal. Non-compliance could lead to revocation and a ban on reapplying for up to two years.
The Ministry reaffirmed that this initiative reinforces the UAE’s commitment to financial governance, economic competitiveness, and sustainable digital transformation, paving the way for an intelligent and fully integrated financial ecosystem.
