UAE e-invoicing mandate
Umm Al Quwain businesses — including UAQ Free Trade Zone companies — follow the national timeline: for most local businesses (under AED 50 million revenue) that means appointing an Accredited Service Provider by 31 March 2027 and invoicing through the network from 1 July 2027.
