DigiTax UAE API Hub:The DigiTax API for UAE FTA E-Invoicing

Electronic Tax Invoicing in UAE

Countries globally have been opting to digitize their tax systems by imposing e-Invoicing or Electronic Tax Invoicing and Reporting. Electronic Tax Invoicing is a nascent Fintech category globally.

UAE is one of the countries and the country's tax authority/ regulator, FTA (Federal Tax Authority) has a transformative e-invoicing system. In this documentation, DigiTax UAE API Hub, we shall simply refer to it as FTA.

Introduction to FTA and DigiTax platform

FTA

FTA is the tax regulator of the UAE government. It is responsible for the administration of federal taxes in the UAE, including the VAT. FTA e-invoicing is a system that allows businesses to generate and transmit e-invoices to the FTA. FTA e-invoicing is based on the Peppol network.

Peppol

Peppol is an international network that allows businesses to exchange e-invoices with each other. It is a open standard that is used by businesses all over the world. Peppol is a not-for-profit organization that is committed to the development and promotion of e-invoicing. Learn more about Peppol here.

"Peppol is an international framework that sets the standard for cross-border electronic document exchange, including e-invoicing. It enables secure, standardized, and interoperable data sharing between businesses and public sector entities across different countries and IT systems."

PINT AE

PINT AE are the e-invoicing specifications for the UAE. They are based on the Peppol network, but with some modifications to meet the specific requirements of the UAE. Learn more about PINT AE here.
