Understanding UAE invoicing requirements
Do I need to charge VAT on invoices?
If your business is registered for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), you must charge 5% VAT on all taxable supplies and show the VAT amount separately on your invoices. If you are not VAT registered (turnover below AED 187,500), you should not charge VAT. Zero-rated supplies (such as exports) should show VAT at 0%. Exempt supplies do not attract VAT at all.
What must a UAE tax invoice include?
A UAE tax invoice must include: your business name and address, Tax Registration Number (TRN), the date of issue, a unique sequential invoice number, the customer's name and address (and TRN if VAT-registered), a description of goods or services, quantity and unit price, the taxable amount, VAT rate applied, VAT amount in AED, and the total amount payable. For supplies over AED 10,000, a full tax invoice is required.
What are the FTA invoice requirements?
The FTA requires two types of invoices: a simplified tax invoice for supplies under AED 10,000 (which requires fewer details), and a full tax invoice for supplies of AED 10,000 or more. Invoices must be issued within 14 days of the date of supply. Credit notes must reference the original invoice. All invoices must be in Arabic or bilingual (Arabic and English). Failure to issue proper invoices can result in administrative penalties from the FTA.
