How this tool works

Enter total gross revenue from the most recent accounting period, including B2C revenue. Indicate whether you are a government entity and whether your business is exclusively B2C. Select “Calculate e-invoicing dates”.

For an in-scope business, the tool returns the ASP appointment date, mandatory go-live date and cited scope and invoicing notices. For exclusively B2C businesses it returns the B2C notice instead of mandatory phase dates. It does not select an ASP, perform onboarding, transmit invoices or calculate a transaction’s issue date.

Sector and transaction exclusions require separate review. Free-zone status or being outside VAT registration does not, by itself, establish an e-invoicing exemption. MD 243/2025, art. 3; MD 197/2026, art. Two (replacing art. 4).

This page does not quote e-invoicing penalty amounts. The e-invoicing penalty regime is set by Cabinet Decision No. 173 of 2026, whose text had not been published as at 24 October 2026. Use the dated milestones to identify the preparation steps relevant to your business.

Before you rely on a result

Questions, answered.

What does an SME need to do by 31 March 2027?

An in-scope business with revenue below AED 50 million must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by that date. Its mandatory implementation date is 1 July 2027. MD 244/2025, art. 5(1)(b).

What if revenue is exactly AED 50 million or more?

The large-business phase has an ASP appointment deadline set at 30 October 2026 and a mandatory implementation date set at 1 January 2027. If you are reading after either date, that milestone has already passed. The amendment changed the large-business appointment date. MD 66/2026, art. One.

What if I sell only to consumers, or have mixed sales?

Exclusively B2C businesses remain outside mandatory implementation until a further ministerial decision. B2C transactions remain excluded in a mixed business; total gross revenue, including B2C revenue, determines its phase. MD 244/2025, arts. 1 and 5(2).

Does a government entity follow the SME go-live date?

No. Its ASP appointment deadline is also 31 March 2027, but implementation is 1 October 2027. MD 244/2025, art. 5(1)(c).

Does the tool calculate invoice-by-invoice deadlines or penalties?

It does not calculate transaction deadlines or current penalties. Its notices explain the 14-business-day issue/transmission rule subject to the VAT-registrant timing provision, and flag exclusions for separate assessment. MD 197/2026, art. Two; MD 243/2025, art. 6(4).
