It is a structured form of an invoice data that is issued and exchanged electronically between a supplier and a buyer and reported electronically to the UAE Federal Tax Authority. It is important to note that unstructured invoice formats such as pdf, word document, images, scanned copies and emails are not eInvoices.
The following steps provide an overview of UAE’s eInvoicing model (Decentralized Continuous Transaction Control and Exchange - DCTCE):
Supplier (Corner 1) submits eInvoice data (PINT AE) in an agreed format with its UAE Accredited Service Provider (Corner 2)
C2 validates the eInvoice data received from C1 and converts it into the UAE standard eInvoice xml format (if C2 has received the eInvoice in a different format from C1).
C2 transmits the eInvoice (in the xml format) to the Buyer’s UAE accredited Service Provider (Corner 3)
In parallel, C2 reports the Tax Data Document (TDD) to Corner 5
Upon validating the eInvoice, C3 sends a Message Level Status (MLS) to C2
C3 submits the eInvoice to the Buyer (Corner 4) in an agreed format with its UAE Accredited Service Provider (Corner 3)
Upon successful validation of the eInvoice, C3 also reports the Tax Data Document (TDD) to Corner 5. If the validation of the eInvoice was unsuccessful, C3 reports a negative MLS to C2 as well as to C5. In this scenario, there will be no reporting of the TDD to C5 by C3
C5 sends a Message Level Status (MLS) to C2 once the TDD has been successfully reported
C5 sends a Message Level Status (MLS) to C3 once the TDD has been successfully reported
C2 forwards the C3 exchange MLS and C5 reporting MLS to C1.
C3 forwards the C5 reporting MLS to C4.
