Frequently Asked Questions
What is e‑invoicing, and how is it different from PDFs?
Unlike a PDF, which is merely a digital “picture” of a document, an e-invoice is a structured data file (typically in XML format) that is exchanged directly between systems. In the UAE’s upcoming mandate, e-invoices are validated in real-time by the tax authority’s gateway before they reach the recipient. This ensures the invoice is legally compliant and automatically recorded for tax reporting, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.
When should we start preparing for e‑invoicing?
The time to start is now. While the UAE’s full mandate is phased (starting with a pilot in 2026), preparation requires more than a simple software update. It involves cleaning your “master data” (TRNs, addresses, and tax codes), aligning your internal approval workflows, and ensuring your systems can handle the specific technical logic required by the FTA. Early preparation prevents operational bottlenecks during the mandatory rollout.
Do we need to change our ERP/accounting system?
Not necessarily. Most modern systems can be integrated with the UAE’s e-invoicing gateway via an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) or a specialized “bridge” software. We perform a gap analysis of your current ERP to determine if it can support the mandatory structured fields. If an upgrade is needed, we guide you through selecting a compliant solution that fits your business scale.
How do you make sure our filings are audit‑ready?
We build “defense by design” into your tax processes. This includes:
Standardized Working Papers: Every figure in your return is backed by a reconciliation file that links directly to your source data.
Transaction Controls: We implement checks at the point of entry to ensure VAT is correctly categorized as zero-rated, exempt, or standard-rated.
Governance Frameworks: We help you establish a clear compliance calendar and responsibility matrix, ensuring that every filing is reviewed and approved against current FTA legislation before submission.
What happens if we discover an error in a previous VAT or Tax filing?
If a discrepancy is found, we facilitate a Voluntary Disclosure (VD) with the Federal Tax Authority. Our team conducts a thorough impact analysis to quantify the error, prepares the necessary technical documentation, and manages the submission process. By proactively correcting errors before an audit, we help you mitigate the risk of heavy administrative penalties and ensure your historical records remain fully compliant.
