Invoicing

An invoice that holds up to an FTA check

Once you are VAT-registered, a UAE tax invoice needs your Tax Registration Number, a sequential invoice number, the date of supply, and VAT shown as a separate line at 5% rather than folded into one round figure. We build that layout into your invoice template at onboarding, in Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, so it is right from invoice one.

Recurring and one-off invoices

Recurring invoices for retainer or subscription customers are scheduled to go out automatically on the date your contract sets, with quantities and pricing checked against the agreement first. One-off invoices are drafted from the sales order or contract you supply, reviewed for the correct customer, terms and VAT treatment, then sent through your chosen platform.

Before you cross the VAT threshold

If your taxable supplies sit below the AED 375,000 mandatory registration threshold, invoices are formatted without VAT lines. As you approach that figure over a rolling 12 months, or the AED 187,500 voluntary threshold if you want to register early, we flag it, so the switch to VAT-registered invoicing happens once, correctly, rather than as a batch of reissued invoices later.

What stays your decision

Pricing, discounts and payment terms are set by you. We invoice against the contract, rate card or order you give us and flag anything on it that looks inconsistent with what was agreed. A copy of every invoice, and the contract or order it was drafted from, is kept together so a query months later takes minutes to answer.
