Purpose: Automate and standardize the issuance, transmission, and reporting of invoices for VAT compliance.
Format: Structured electronic invoices (XML/JSON) readable by machines.
Scope: B2B and B2G transactions initially; phased rollout starting 2026, mandatory from 2027.

Peppol Network
Full Name: Pan-European Public Procurement Online.
Function: Global e‑invoicing and e‑procurement network enabling standardized, secure electronic document exchange.
How UAE uses it:
The UAE mandates that e‑invoices can be transmitted through Peppol-compliant ASPs.
This ensures interoperability with international trading partners using the Peppol network.
UAE E‑Invoicing + Peppol Flow
Supplier (Business) → Accredited Service Provider (ASP) → Peppol Network → Buyer (Business)
The ASP validates the invoice, ensures it follows UAE FTA standards, and sends it to the buyer and reports to the FTA.
Peppol ensures secure, standardized, cross-border invoice exchange, especially useful for international B2B trade.
