Frequently asked questions
What is e-invoicing in the UAE?
E-invoicing in the UAE is the mandatory electronic exchange of structured invoice data between businesses and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Instead of PDFs or paper, invoices are issued as structured XML in the PINT-AE format and transmitted through Accredited Service Providers on the Peppol network, which report tax data to the FTA.
What is PINT-AE?
PINT-AE is the UAE's country-specific profile of the Peppol International (PINT) invoice model, built on UBL 2.1. It defines the exact fields, formats and business rules a UAE e-invoice must follow — including 15-digit TRNs, emirate codes, AED tax amounts and category-aware VAT rules. qmetrics validates your XML against these rules.
What is Peppol e-invoicing?
Peppol is an international network for exchanging electronic business documents. The UAE uses a Peppol-based 5-corner model: your invoice travels from your billing system through your Accredited Service Provider to your customer's provider, while tax data is reported to the FTA.
When does e-invoicing become mandatory in the UAE?
Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must comply from 1 January 2027 (and appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026). All other businesses follow on 1 July 2027, and government entities from 1 October 2027. A voluntary pilot has been running since July 2026.
What are the penalties for e-invoicing non-compliance in the UAE?
Under Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025: AED 5,000 per month for failing to appoint an Accredited Service Provider, AED 100 per late-transmitted invoice (capped at AED 5,000 per month), and AED 1,000 per day for unreported system malfunctions. Rejected invoices also mean payment delays and audit scrutiny.
Is qmetrics an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?
No. qmetrics is an independent pre-submission checker: it catches TRN, VAT and format errors before you submit through your ASP, so your invoices don't bounce. You still need an MoF-accredited ASP to actually transmit invoices.
Do I need to sign up to check an invoice?
No — your first validation is completely free with no account and no credit card. Free accounts get 10 validations a month; paid plans add unlimited checks, PDF audit reports, bulk validation and API access.
Do you store my invoice files?
No. Uploaded invoices are validated in memory and never written to disk or database — only compliance findings and a minimal summary are kept — company names, prices and totals are never stored, and TRNs are stored masked. Anonymous reports are automatically purged after 24 hours, and the REST API is fully stateless.
