It is much more than emailing a PDF invoice
A UAE e-invoice is structured data in the PINT AE format with 51 mandatory fields. PDF, Word, image, scanned and emailed invoices are not e-invoices.
You send the invoice from your software to your Accredited Service Provider, which validates it and passes it over the Peppol network to your customer's ASP — while the tax data goes to the FTA.
The UAE Federal Tax Authority receives your invoice data through the ASP, which helps pre-populate VAT returns — but it also means errors in your invoice data are caught immediately.
Zoho Software Trading LLC is listed on the UAE Ministry of Finance's official register of accredited e-Invoicing Service Providers. As an ASP, Zoho validates your invoices, exchanges them over the Peppol network and transmits the tax data to the Federal Tax Authority — directly from your Zoho Books account.
Anantara Accounting is an Authorized Zoho Partner. We are not the ASP — we configure, test and support your e-invoicing so that you are live and compliant without disrupting your finance team.
Six clear steps from "where do we start?" to live, compliant e-invoices
We confirm which deadline applies to you, review your invoice types, customers and current software, and give you a clear action plan.
We guide you through selecting Zoho Software Trading LLC as your Accredited Service Provider on EmaraTax — the official onboarding route.
TRN and legal identifiers, addresses, customer and item masters, tax categories and units of measure — fixed so every mandatory PINT AE field is complete.
E-invoicing settings, invoice templates, tax setup and your Peppol connection are configured in your Zoho Books organization.
We run test invoices, check validation results, help you exchange e-invoices with key customers and suppliers, and take you live.
Hands-on training for your accounts and sales teams, simple SOPs, and priority support after go-live for corrections, credit notes and queries.
If your current software — Tally, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage or Excel — cannot produce compliant PINT AE invoice data, you don't need to run two systems. We migrate your ledgers, balances, inventory and history to Zoho Books and enable e-invoicing in the same project.
