E-invoicing - United Arab Emirates
E-Invoicing in the UAE.
This will soon be a requirement in the UAE with legislation to be passed on this.
Please can we as Xero users have a standard process template for this.

Hi Faadhilah, thanks for raising the idea about introducing e-invoicing specifically for the UAE. With the government’s timelines and deadlines coming up, we understand how important it is for businesses there to have a streamlined way to comply.
Xero already supports e-invoicing in other regions where this has become a regulatory requirement. While we can’t share any definite plans about when or if this will be available in the UAE just yet, your idea status is currently Gaining support. This status means the community team has reviewed it, and now it’s open for votes and comments from users like you.
Getting more votes and detailed feedback from the community helps bring attention to the demand and shows the product team where to focus next. If you haven’t already, adding more context about how e-invoicing would affect your business day to day would be really valuable. The more insights the team has, the better they can understand the impact.
We’ll keep an eye on how this develops and share any updates when there’s news. In the meantime, your participation and support on the idea page really make a difference.

Hi, I am currently looking into this for our company and as it will be mandatory it is critical for us that Xero will be compliant, otherwise we will have to look at options. We have already lost Payment Run as an option and Bank Feeds with Mashreq. This is something which we can't 'make do' and work round! Thanks

Hi,
Please update us on this as soon as possible as it will be mandatory requirement of UAE effective next year. Other cloud based accounting software companies are currently working to be in compliant on e-invoicing. And we as a xero user for many years now are expecting that Xero is working on this for us to be ready by next year's implementation.
Thank you. -

If XERO doesn't support the e-invoicing feature, we may have to select another service provider.
