What e-invoicing means
E-invoicing is the move from PDF or paper invoices to a structured electronic format that is exchanged and reported through accredited channels. In the UAE it uses the PINT AE format and is transmitted via an accredited service provider (ASP), with a phased rollout across 2026–2027.
