Peppol Service Provider · E-Invoicing Software in UAE

Simplify E-Invoicing in UAE with Bytize

Bytize is a Peppol Accredited Service Provider in the UAE. Send invoices from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce, and Bytize prepares them for exchange on the UAE’s Peppol network.

Peppol 5-corner model e-invoicing flow in the UAE

Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more go live on 1 January 2027. Businesses below that must appoint an accredited ASP by 31 March 2027.

What is E-Invoicing in UAE?

E-Invoicing in UAE means issuing, exchanging and reporting invoices as structured data that software can read, not as PDFs or paper. Every covered invoice travels through Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) on the Peppol network, and the tax data is reported to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

An emailed PDF or scanned invoice does not meet the requirement on its own. You can still send a readable copy, but the structured invoice is the legal one.

What a UAE e-invoice must follow

  • Format: XML based on PINT AE, the UAE version of the Peppol International invoice model
  • Exchange: Sent through your ASP to the buyer's ASP on the Peppol network
  • Reporting: Tax data reported to the FTA as part of the same flow
  • Content: Invoice number and date, supplier and buyer details with tax identifiers, line items, VAT category, rate and amount, totals and currency

Who must comply

  • B2B and B2G transactions are covered unless an exclusion applies
  • B2C transactions are currently outside the system
  • Transactions inside the same registered VAT Tax Group are excluded for 24 months from 1 January 2027
  • Scope is wider than VAT registration: any business conducting covered transactions in the UAE should check its obligations

How E-Invoicing in UAE works with Bytize

The UAE uses a Peppol 5-corner model: your accredited ASP sends the invoice to the buyer’s ASP, and both ASPs report tax data to the FTA. Bytize connects your ERP to that flow.

  1. Send invoice data

    Your ERP sends invoice data to Bytize as JSON through the API.

  2. Validate and convert

    Bytize checks the data against UAE rules and converts it to PINT AE XML.

  3. Deliver and report

    The invoice is sent to the buyer’s ASP on Peppol, and the Tax Data Document is reported to the FTA by Bytize’s accredited ASP partner.

  4. Buyer's ASP confirms

    The buyer's ASP validates the invoice, returns a Message Level Status (MLS), delivers it to the buyer's ERP and reports its own TDD.

  5. FTA returns status

    The FTA sends reporting status back to both ASPs.

  6. Your ERP is updated

    Bytize passes every status to your ERP, so your team sees what was delivered, rejected or reported.

FTA e-invoicing solutions in UAE, built for your business

Bytize’s FTA e-invoicing solutions in UAE cover the work from your ERP to a compliant PINT AE invoice on Peppol.

  • Send JSON, get PINT AE

    Post invoice data as JSON, and Bytize maps it to PINT AE automatically.

  • Validation before sending

    Every invoice is checked against the Peppol rules before it’s sent, and failures are held for review, never silently dropped.

  • Certified Peppol delivery

    Invoices are delivered to your buyer’s Access Point through a certified Peppol Access Point partner, so you never manage certificates yourself.

  • Real-time status webhooks

    Every state change, from draft to validated to sent, plus any validation failure, is pushed to your system.

  • Receive supplier invoices

    Incoming Peppol invoices arrive parsed into the same JSON shape, ready for your accounting system.

  • Tamper-evident archive

    Each sent invoice joins a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain that auditors can verify at any time.

  • Readable PDF copy

    Every sent invoice comes with a PDF version for buyers who want a visual copy. The structured XML stays the legal invoice.

Benefits of E-Invoicing in UAE

E-invoicing is a legal requirement, but done well it also speeds up payments and removes manual work from your finance team. Here's what changes when you switch with Bytize.

  • Stay compliant without extra work

    Every invoice is issued in PINT AE and exchanged through an accredited ASP, so you meet UAE rules and avoid fines starting at AED 5,000 a month.

  • Get paid faster

    Invoices reach your buyer's system in seconds over the Peppol network, not days by email or courier, so approval and payment start sooner.

  • Fewer errors and rejections

    Bytize validates each invoice against official rules before it's sent, so missing fields and wrong tax codes are fixed before your buyer sees them.

  • No more manual data entry

    Supplier invoices arrive as structured data your ERP can post directly, freeing your team from retyping and checking PDFs.

  • Audit-ready records

    Every invoice, credit note and delivery receipt is stored in a tamper-evident archive you can retrieve and export when the FTA asks.

  • One setup for every Peppol country

    The same connection serves the UAE, Oman, Belgium, Germany, France and Singapore, so expanding to a new market doesn't mean a new provider.
