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
