# E-Invoicing *by Wide CS*

Compliant invoices, straight from the *systems you already run.*

The UAE is moving business invoicing onto a structured, Peppol-based network. We connect your PMS, POS and finance systems to a Ministry of Finance pre-approved e-invoicing platform, test every invoice type, and stay with you after go-live.

Free readiness check

## How ready *are you?*

Six questions, two minutes. You get an instant result, your deadline, and a free readiness review from our team if you want one.

The timeline

## When does it *apply to you?*

Your phase depends on annual revenue. Each phase must appoint an accredited service provider before going live.

| Phase | Who | Appoint a provider by | E-invoicing mandatory from |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Phase 1 | Annual revenue of AED 50 million or more | 30 Oct 2026 Deadline passed | 1 Jan 2027 |
| Phase 2 | Annual revenue below AED 50 million | 31 Mar 2027 | 1 Jul 2027 |
| Phase 3 | Federal and local government entities | 31 Mar 2027 | 1 Oct 2027 |

Phase 1 and still without a provider? Talk to us now. Late appointment carries a monthly penalty, so every month counts. Based on Ministerial Decisions 243 and 244 of 2025; confirm your obligations with the Ministry of Finance, the FTA and your tax adviser.

How it works

## Five corners, *one connection* for you.

The UAE uses a decentralised Peppol model. You connect once to your provider. Validation, delivery and tax reporting happen from there.

Corner 1 · You

### Your systems

PMS folios, POS, ERP and finance raise invoices as they do today.

Corner 2 · Wide CS

### Your provider

Invoices are converted to UAE PINT, validated, and sent over Peppol.

Corner 3

### Buyer's provider

Receives the invoice on behalf of your customer.

Corner 4

### Your customer

Gets a structured invoice straight into their own system.

Corner 5 · FTA

Tax data is reported to the Federal Tax Authority automatically. You never upload anything manually.

Why hotels need a plan

## More invoice sources than *you think.*

A typical hotel issues business invoices from several places. Each one has to produce a compliant e-invoice, with correct customer tax details, before your go-live date.

### Corporate folios

Room and incidental charges billed to company accounts from the PMS.

### Groups and events

Banqueting, MICE and group master bills, often with deposits and adjustments.

### Credit notes

Rebates, corrections and cancellations need e-credit notes too.

### Outlets and leases

B2B sales from F&B outlets, retail, spa and tenant leases.

### Customer tax data

Valid TRNs and addresses for every business customer you invoice.

### Finance and AP

Invoices raised from the ledger, and supplier e-invoices you will now receive.

The programme

## From readiness review to *go-live.*

A fixed sequence we run for every client, sized to the number of systems and entities you have.

### One platform across the region

* UAE FTA
* Saudi ZATCA
* Jordan
* Malaysia
* Mauritius
* Peppol

The same platform is certified in other markets, so groups operating outside the UAE can use one solution.

The cost of waiting

## Penalties are *per month and per invoice.*

Set out in Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025. Late adoption is the most expensive line.

| Violation | Penalty |
| --- | --- |
| Not implementing e-invoicing or appointing a provider on time | AED 5,000 per month |
| Not issuing or transmitting an e-invoice on time | AED 100 per invoice capped at AED 5,000 per month |
| Not issuing or transmitting an e-credit note on time | AED 100 per credit note capped at AED 5,000 per month |
| Not reporting a system failure to the Authority on time | AED 1,000 per day |
| Not updating your provider when registered data changes | AED 1,000 per day |
