EInvoicing

Understanding eInvoicing
An eInvoice is a structured digital invoice that is created, exchanged, and reported electronically between a supplier and a buyer. In the UAE, eInvoices must be electronically reported to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It's important to note that unstructured formats such as PDFs, Word documents, images, scanned copies, and emails do not qualify as eInvoices.
