UAE e-invoicing,finally simple.

The Federal Tax Authority is rolling out e-invoicing in phases starting July 2026. Phase 1 covers larger taxpayers; later phases extend to all VAT-registered businesses. TrustBill is built to be ready on day one so you can onboard well before your phase begins.

PINT-AE is the UAE's adaptation of the PEPPOL International Invoice (PINT) standard — a structured UBL/XML format that the FTA accepts. Paper PDFs and free-text emails will no longer be valid for taxable supplies covered by the mandate. TrustBill converts whatever you produce today into PINT-AE automatically.

No. TrustBill works alongside Tally, QuickBooks, Zoho, Xero, Sage, Odoo, Wafeq, ERPNext, SAP, Oracle and 10+ other tools. Export as Excel/CSV, sync via API, or install the desktop agent that watches an export folder.

Yes. TrustBill supports mainland, QFZ (qualified free zone) and NFZ (non-qualified free zone) businesses, with the correct VAT and reverse-charge treatment applied to each. Designated-zone supplies are handled per Cabinet Decision rules.

PEPPOL is the open network the UAE has adopted to exchange e-invoices. An Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is the company licensed by the FTA to push invoices onto that network on your behalf. You can't submit directly — you submit through an ASP. TrustBill submits through Tron Stride, an FTA-accredited ASP.

The FTA's penalty framework follows the same Cabinet Decision structure used for VAT non-compliance, with administrative fines per non-compliant invoice. Penalties scale by phase and frequency. The simple version: get onto an accredited platform before your phase activates.

E-invoicing populates the same data your VAT 201 return needs. TrustBill auto-aggregates submitted invoices into a draft VAT 201 each tax period — you review and confirm rather than re-key.

Yes. Every invoice renders bilingually in English and Arabic with RTL-correct typography. Customer name, address, line items and VAT category labels are mirrored — required by the FTA for many trades. Issuing in Arabic only is also supported.

B2C invoices and simplified tax invoices are supported. The mandate scope by phase determines which transactions must go through the network — TrustBill flags the right path automatically based on customer type and supply.

Yes. Each tenant can hold multiple TRNs (e.g. parent + free-zone subsidiary). Invoices are signed under the correct issuer TRN and reported to the FTA under that legal entity.

Everything stays in AWS me-central-1 (Dubai). Invoice data, attachments and database backups never leave the UAE. Row-level security gives complete tenant isolation between consultancies and their SMEs.

There's no hard cutoff. Over-quota invoices are billed at a small overage rate per invoice so submissions to the FTA are never blocked at the deadline.

Yes. No lock-in. Downgrade or cancel from billing settings. Your data remains accessible for 90 days after cancellation per UAE PDPL, then is securely deleted.

About 5 minutes for the SME flow: TRN, accounting tool, first invoice. Most users send a real PINT-AE invoice to the FTA within their first session.
