What UAE e-invoicing asks of your business

From your go-live date, a PDF invoice is no longer enough for business-to-business and business-to-government sales.

A structured file, not a PDF

Each invoice is sent as an XML file in the PINT AE format, built on UBL 2.1.

Every required field filled in

The FTA expects 51 mandatory fields, from buyer TRN to the tax breakdown on each line.

Sent through an accredited provider

Invoices travel through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP), which reports them to the FTA.

When your business needs to be ready

Dates published by the Ministry of Finance. A voluntary pilot runs from July to December 2026. Appoint your ASP first, then go live on your date.

How PENTAXIS fits with your systems

Nothing changes in your ERP. PENTAXIS sits between your accounting system and your ASP.

Your ERP

Raises and exports invoices as it does today.

PENTAXIS

Maps the data, completes the fields and checks every rule.

Your ASP

Receives a clean file and sends it on.

The FTA

Receives the invoice, and the response returns to your records.

MappingAny ERP

Use the export your ERP already produces

Send XML, JSON, CSV, Excel or text-based PDF files by upload, SFTP or API, or key in the odd invoice by hand. We build one mapping for each source system and test it on your real invoices before you go live.

  • Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Odoo, Sage and other accounting systems
  • One mapping per system, reused every month
  • Tested on your own invoices first
ValidationPINT AE rules

Find and fix errors before your ASP sees them

PENTAXIS runs the same published rules your ASP applies. Each result names the field and the fix in plain language, and you can correct many invoices at once.

  • All 51 mandatory fields checked
  • Free zone, export, reverse charge and other supply types
  • Credit notes with the reason from the official list
  • Exact AED totals on foreign-currency invoices
ArchiveAudit ready

Keep every invoice ready for an audit

Every invoice and every ASP response is stored together in a sealed archive, and re-checked each time it is opened.

  • Kept for 5 years, or 7 for real estate
  • Every ASP response stored with its invoice
  • Legal holds and ready-made retrieval packages for auditors
  • A readable copy alongside each e-invoice
Readiness and onboardingGo-live

Know exactly where you are before go-live

A readiness board with your own dates, including the EmaraTax steps. Suppliers and customers confirm their details through a link, and you review each one.

  • Your dates and tasks on one board
  • Supplier and customer details collected by link
  • Go live company by company when each one is ready

How to choose an e-invoicing provider (ASP)

Every UAE e-invoice travels through an Accredited Service Provider. PENTAXIS gets the invoice right, and your ASP delivers it. Before you sign with an ASP, ask:

  • Is it on the Ministry of Finance list of accredited providers?
  • Does it accept PINT AE files from any source?
  • Is pricing per invoice, by volume or a flat fee?
  • What support hours and languages does it offer?
  • How long does onboarding take?

PENTAXIS questions and answers

Can't find your answer? Ask our team or message us on WhatsApp.

Do UAE businesses need an ASP for e-invoicing?

Yes. Under the UAE e-invoicing model, every e-invoice is exchanged through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) approved by the Ministry of Finance. PENTAXIS works with whichever ASP you appoint.

Is PENTAXIS an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?

No. PENTAXIS prepares, validates and archives your e-invoices. Your chosen ASP transmits them to your customer and the FTA, and PENTAXIS records the response.

Does PENTAXIS work with our current ERP or accounting system?

Yes. PENTAXIS works with any ERP or accounting system, including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, Odoo, Tally, Zoho and QuickBooks. It reads the export your system already produces in XML, JSON, CSV, Excel or text-based PDF, by upload, SFTP or API.

When does UAE e-invoicing start for my business?

Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027. Businesses below AED 50 million appoint by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. Government entities go live on 1 October 2027.

How long does PENTAXIS take to set up?

About one week for most businesses. Omegamatrix maps a sample export of your real invoices first, so you see the result on your own data before you commit.

How much does PENTAXIS cost?

PENTAXIS is priced by monthly invoice volume. Share roughly how many invoices you issue each month and Omegamatrix sends a quote the same day.

Can an accounting or audit firm manage PENTAXIS for its clients?

Yes. Through the PENTAXIS partner programme, accounting and audit firms manage e-invoicing for all their clients from one console, under their own brand.

How long does PENTAXIS keep e-invoicing records?

PENTAXIS keeps sealed records for five years, or seven years for real estate, counted from the correct date. Legal holds pause the clock, and nothing is deleted without an administrator's approval.

Which countries does PENTAXIS cover?

PENTAXIS is built for UAE e-invoicing (PINT AE). For Saudi Arabia (ZATCA) and India (GST e-invoice), NeatAccounts includes e-invoicing.
