UAE Electronic Invoicing System

From 1 July 2027, a PDF stops being a tax invoice.

Structured, validated data — not a PDF — through an accredited provider. Sijil gets your business ready, and keeps it ready.

How it works

Upload. Validate. Transmit.

01

Upload

Key it in by hand, or upload the spreadsheet you already keep. Either way, Sijil reads it.

02

Validate

Every field checked against the mandate's rules before it sends, not after it's rejected.

03

Transmit

Sent over the Peppol network by an accredited provider, straight to your buyer's own provider.

The mandate, plainly

Invoicing just became a data problem, not a paperwork one.

Not a clearance regime — nothing waits for approval. But a bad field is rejected automatically, with no manual override.

AED 5,000/mo

Penalty for a late appointment. AED 100 per invoice sent late, capped at AED 5,000/month.

Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025.

51

Mandatory fields on a standard tax invoice. Miss one and it's rejected before it reaches anyone.

Two audiences, one mandate

Built for the business without an accountant, and the accountant with too many clients.

B2B / B2G SMEs

No ERP, no in-house accountant.

  • Client ID lookup and TIN validation, done once, reused every invoice
  • Validation at entry — wrong before you send, not after it's rejected
  • A VAT position built from invoices already sent

What Sijil actually does

Anyone accredited can transmit an invoice. Getting one right is the hard part.

Forty-plus providers cleared the same bar. What matters is whether your invoice survives contact with the rules.

Capacity, always stated as remaining

You always know how many you have left, and until when.

No percentage bars. A real number, a real reset date, and a warning before you run out, not after.

Invoices left

412/ 500

Good until 1 Jan 2027. We'll email at 100 left, and again at 25.

Every problem, in plain words

No error codes. A name, a rule, and how to fix it.

Fixing a customer's missing detail fixes it on every future invoice to them, not just this one.

The customer has no building number. UAE invoices need one. Add it to Gulf Trading FZE and it fills in on every future invoice to them.

From draft to proof

Once it's sent, it's locked. That's what makes it worth something.

A rejection stays on the record instead of being hidden. Nobody, not the business, not us, can edit an invoice after it's sent.

Trust, stated plainly

What we are, and what we are careful never to say we are.

Sijil is not itself an accredited service provider. No asset, screen, or line of copy here claims or implies accreditation. E-invoicing is delivered in partnership with one. Responsibility for tax treatment stays with you — that's the law.

9 years

Every invoice and credit note kept — longer than the five years most people expect.

Sealed

Every audit entry seals the one before it. A break would be visible immediately.

UAE

Hosted and processed in UAE data centres, per the mandate's residency rules.
