What Is on a Real UAE VAT Invoice?
The UAE's Federal Tax Authority (FTA) prescribes exactly what a tax invoice must contain, and the requirements differ between full and simplified invoices. A credible UAE tax invoice needs to get these details right.
The words 'Tax Invoice' and a 15-digit TRN
Every VAT invoice must be clearly labeled 'Tax Invoice' and show the supplier's 15-digit Tax Registration Number issued by the FTA. A missing or invalid TRN makes the invoice non-compliant and the VAT unrecoverable, and issuing non-compliant invoices can draw FTA penalties of AED 5,000 per invoice.
5% VAT since January 2018
The UAE's standard VAT rate is 5%, and the invoice must show the amount payable and the VAT charged, with zero-rated and exempt supplies identified as such. Some sectors, like designated-zone supplies and certain exports, carry special treatment that a compliant invoice reflects.
Simplified vs full invoice at AED 10,000
A simplified tax invoice - supplier details, TRN, date, description, and the VAT-inclusive total - is permitted for retail and B2C sales up to AED 10,000 or where the buyer is not VAT-registered. Above that threshold, or when the recipient is a registrant, a full tax invoice is required.
Buyer details on a full tax invoice
A full tax invoice adds the recipient's name, address, and TRN, unit prices, the quantity and rate of VAT per line, and any discounts - the fields a VAT-registered buyer needs before claiming input tax on the purchase.
AED amounts and a 14-day issue deadline
Invoice amounts must be stated in UAE dirhams (converted at the approved rate if the sale was in another currency), with VAT rounded to the nearest fils, and the supplier must issue the tax invoice within 14 calendar days of the date of supply.
E-invoicing is replacing paper and PDF
The UAE is rolling out Peppol-based e-invoicing in the PINT AE format, exchanged through FTA-accredited service providers, with a pilot starting July 2026 and phased mandates for businesses from 2027. Structured digital invoices reported to the FTA will progressively replace paper and PDF tax invoices.
Get Your Original UAE Tax Invoice First
The supplier is legally required to issue a compliant tax invoice within 14 days of supply, so ask the business first - UAE retailers can usually reprint from the POS or re-send an e-invoice, and VAT-registered suppliers must keep invoice records for the FTA's retention period. Use this template when the original is unavailable - a supplier that has closed, a lost simplified receipt, or a record you need to reconstruct; note that only a supplier-issued invoice supports an input VAT claim.

UAE VAT Invoice FAQ
Common questions about creating and downloading a UAE VAT Invoice-style tax invoice.

Ask the supplier - VAT-registered UAE businesses are required to issue a tax invoice within 14 days of supply and to keep transaction records, so most can reprint a POS receipt or re-issue an invoice by email. If you are VAT-registered and the purchase exceeded AED 10,000, ask specifically for a full tax invoice showing your company name and TRN.
A simplified tax invoice is allowed when the buyer is not VAT-registered or the consideration is AED 10,000 or less - it needs the supplier's details, TRN, date, description, and the VAT-inclusive total. A full tax invoice, required above AED 10,000 or for registered buyers, adds the recipient's name, address, and TRN plus line-level unit prices and VAT amounts, and it is what supports an input VAT claim.
Both. You can use these templates for reimbursements, bookkeeping prep, and internal documentation workflows.
Yes. Every field — line items, charges, taxes, and totals — is editable so the document matches your order.
It is labeled 'Tax Invoice' and shows the supplier's name, address, and 15-digit TRN, the invoice date, a description of the goods or services, and the total with 5% VAT identified, in AED. A full tax invoice adds the buyer's name, address, and TRN, unit prices, and the VAT rate and amount per line; a simplified invoice for smaller retail sales omits the buyer details.
Add the store name, purchase date, line items, totals, tax, payment method, and any optional notes you need on your UAE VAT Invoice Generator template.
