UAE FTA Mandatory Tax Invoice Fields — What the Law Requires

Under UAE VAT law (Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017), every VAT-registered business must issue a compliant tax invoice for standard-rated supplies. Missing even one required field can result in a penalty of AED 5,000 per non-compliant invoice. ETaxFlow guarantees all fields are present on every invoice it generates.

Full Tax Invoice (supplies > AED 10,000)

1 The words "Tax Invoice" prominently displayed
2 Unique sequential invoice number
3 Date of issue (and date of supply if different)
4 Supplier name, address, and TRN
5 Customer name, address, and TRN (if VAT-registered)
6 Description of goods or services supplied
7 Unit price excluding VAT
8 Quantity or volume of each supply
9 VAT rate applicable (5%, 0%, or "Exempt")
10 VAT amount charged per line item
11 Total amount excluding VAT
12 Total VAT amount charged
13 Total amount inclusive of VAT

Simplified Tax Invoice (≤ AED 10,000)

For retail and consumer supplies of AED 10,000 or less, a simplified tax invoice is permitted. It still requires:

The words "Tax Invoice"
Invoice date
Supplier name, address, and TRN
Description of goods or services
Total consideration and VAT amount

Note: simplified invoices cannot be used to reclaim input VAT by the customer. Only full tax invoices with the customer TRN qualify for input VAT recovery by a registered business.

ETaxFlow guarantee: every invoice generated by ETaxFlow includes all 13 required fields for full tax invoices, validated against your customer's TRN, and stored for 5 years in your tax archive — well beyond the FTA's minimum requirement.

AI data pipeline

How the AI Invoice Data Pipeline Operates

Manually retyping line-item bills into your general ledger wastes valuable time and compromises accounting accuracy. ETaxFlow uses fine-tuned semantic OCR technology to read, identify, and book your incoming expenses safely within seconds of receipt.

Step 1

Instant Data Capture

Drag, drop, or email bills to your ETaxFlow inbox. AI instantly extracts vendor details, invoice date, line items, currency, and VAT amounts.

Step 2

TRN & Format Validation

Supplier TRN checked against FTA format. Invoice fields validated for UAE compliance — simplified vs full tax invoice rules applied automatically.

Step 3

Ledger Account Matching

The system suggests correct expense accounts based on past entries and supplier category. Draft journals saved for quick one-click human approval.

Step 4

Automatic Ledger Posting

Approved invoices post instantly to accounts payable. VAT input tax posted to Box 10 of the VAT 201. Duplicate detection runs before every post.

AI Invoice Automation — FAQs

Everything you need to know about smart invoicing for UAE businesses

ETaxFlow uses optical character recognition (OCR) combined with a trained UAE tax model to extract supplier name, invoice date, line items, VAT amount, and TRN from any PDF or image. Data is available within seconds of upload and can be reviewed before posting to your ledger.

Yes. The OCR engine recognises both Arabic and English text on the same document, which is common for UAE tax invoices that must show the supplier name in Arabic. Amounts and dates are normalised to your base currency (AED) automatically.

Every scanned invoice lands in a review queue where you can correct any field before posting. ETaxFlow learns from each correction — over time your most common suppliers are recognised with near-100% accuracy, minimising the review queue to exception cases only.

Yes. Set up a recurring invoice template with a fixed or variable amount, choose a daily/weekly/monthly/annual schedule, and ETaxFlow creates, posts, and emails the invoice automatically. VAT is calculated at the rate effective on the invoice date, so you are always compliant even if rates change.

All invoices generated by ETaxFlow meet FTA tax invoice requirements: sequential invoice number, issue date, supplier name and TRN, customer TRN (where applicable), line-item description, unit price, VAT rate, VAT amount, and net/gross totals. Simplified invoices for retail transactions under AED 10,000 are also supported.
