Solution Overview

Compliant. Secure. Enterprise-Ready.

The UAE’s mandatory e-Invoicing framework will transform how businesses issue, exchange, and report invoices.

To comply, organizations must connect through a Ministry of Finance pre-approved e-Invoicing Service Provider (ASP) under the UAE Electronic Invoicing System.

In Partnership with Covoro

EDC has partnered with Covoro, an MOF pre-approved ASP, to deliver a fully compliant, secure, and enterprise-grade e-Invoicing solution for organizations across the UAE.

We manage the transition and provide the regulated infrastructure. Covoro delivers the solution and the implementation. You stay compliant and operational.

Rollout Timeline and Exclusions

Understanding the UAE e-Invoicing Mandate

Under Ministerial Decision No. 64 of 2025, businesses must issue and exchange electronic invoices through the Peppol interoperability framework using accredited or pre-approved service providers.

Exclusions: B2C transactions are currently exempt. Businesses engaged exclusively in B2C are not required to implement e-Invoicing until further notice.

Only service providers meeting strict eligibility, security, insurance, and technical standards are authorized to operate under the framework.

The rollout will be phased as follows:

Phase 1 - Larger Businesses

Revenue ≥ AED 50 million
Appoint accredited service provider by 31 July 2026
