Editorial methodology
Every compliance claim on trustbill.ae is checked against a primary source before it ships. This page explains the sourcing rules, the review process, and how to request a correction.
What we cite, and what we never cite
Regulatory statements — deadlines, penalties, accreditation status, scope — are sourced from primary documents only: UAE Ministry of Finance announcements, Federal Tax Authority guidance, Ministerial and Cabinet Decisions, and the MoF accredited-service-provider register. Where a rule changed between decisions, we cite the superseding instrument (for example, Cabinet Decision 173 of 2026 replacing the penalty schedule in Cabinet Decision 106 of 2025).
We do not cite vendor marketing pages, third-party blogs, or unverifiable 'studies' for regulatory facts. If a figure cannot be traced to an official source, it does not appear in our compliance content.
Comparison pages and competitor claims
Our /vs pages compare TrustBill with other providers on the MoF register. For competitors we state only what is publicly verifiable: registered legal name, accreditation number, website and positioning that can be checked against the live register and the provider's own published material. The register at mof.gov.ae is the ground truth — where a third-party directory disagrees with it, the register wins.
Comparison copy focuses on what TrustBill does — accredited submission via Microvista Technologies, bilingual product, transparent AED pricing — rather than unverifiable claims about a competitor's internal quality. If a competitor believes a page misstates a fact, the corrections channel below applies to them too.
Review cadence and the verified-by line
Blog posts carry a verified-on date alongside the publication date. High-change topics — penalty schedules, mandate phases, the accredited-provider register — are re-verified whenever a new Cabinet or Ministerial Decision is published, and at least quarterly otherwise. The register is checked against the live MoF page before any comparison content ships.
Editorial pages are written by named authors with a published profile under /about/authors, so readers can see who stands behind a claim.
Translations
Arabic content is written for Arabic readers, not machine-translated from English. Regulatory terms follow the phrasing used in official Arabic-language FTA communications, and both language versions are held to the same sourcing rules.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we want to fix it fast and visibly. Send corrections to info@trustbill.ae with the URL and the source document you believe contradicts us. Substantive corrections are made in the article body; we do not silently edit published regulatory claims.
