Despite the fact that the UAE recently decided to introduce VAT into its legal order (2018), following the example of the system operating in Europe, they are already planning how to digitize settlements between taxpayers and public entities. The government's main goal is to eliminate more than a billion pieces of paper used in government transactions annually.
Although the issuance of electronic invoices is not mandatory in the UAE, it is already permitted to exchange e-invoices on a voluntary basis, but the planned digitization of settlements between taxpayers and public entities. The goal is to save time, eliminate the risk of errors and care for the environment by reducing the amount of paper invoices.
Through the Digital Procurement Platform, the UAE Government allows electronic/digital invoices to be sent in connection with their purchasing operations or to ministries and federal entities.
Invoices must be securely stored in such a way as to guarantee their integrity, authenticity and availability during the storage period.
Required storage period is 5 years after the end of the tax period to which the invoice relates.
To issue electronic invoices, taxpayers must guarantee the integrity and authenticity of the document. Electronic signatures are regulated but not mandated.
