    🌟
    Voluntary adopters = zero fines during the voluntary period Businesses that implement e-invoicing before their mandatory deadline are fully exempt from all fines. Going live early eliminates all penalty risk and gives your team time to test workflows without compliance pressure.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do we need to change our ERP to comply? ▼
    Not if you are already on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Novasoft's BC extension integrates e-invoicing directly into your existing system with no change to your finance team's workflow. For businesses on QuickBooks, Tally, Zoho, or other legacy systems, this is an ideal time to make the move to BC — you get a modern cloud ERP and full e-invoicing compliance in a single implementation.
    Are PDF invoices still valid after July 2026? ▼
    No. PDF invoices are explicitly not valid under the UAE e-invoicing mandate regardless of how they are delivered — whether by email, portal, or any other method. All B2B and B2G invoices must be in PINT AE structured XML format and transmitted through an FTA-accredited Accredited Service Provider over the Peppol network.
    What is Taxilla and why is it important? ▼
    Taxilla is Novasoft's ASP partner for UAE e-invoicing. As a Ministry of Finance pre-approved Accredited Service Provider and certified Peppol Access Point, Taxilla is the authorised intermediary between your Business Central invoices and the UAE FTA. Every in-scope business must formally appoint an ASP — Taxilla handles the validation, digital signing, Peppol transmission, and FTA real-time reporting on Novasoft's behalf.
    Does e-invoicing apply to our B2C retail sales? ▼
    No — B2C transactions are currently excluded from the mandate. Standard consumer receipts are not affected. Only B2B (business-to-business) and B2G (business-to-government) transactions are in scope. However, the framework is expected to extend to B2C in future phases — building a robust e-invoicing infrastructure now future-proofs your operation.
    What about intra-group or franchise invoices? ▼
    Intra-group supplies are legally in scope, but a 24-month grace period applies for transactions between members of the same VAT group beginning 1 January 2027. During this period, e-invoicing obligations are not enforced for intra-group transactions. Third-party transactions must comply per the standard schedule.
    How long does implementation take? ▼
    The Novasoft e-invoicing implementation for Business Central typically takes 4 to 6 weeks from project start to go-live. This includes the BC extension deployment, Taxilla API connection, EmaraTax registration, Peppol ID setup, user acceptance testing, and finance team training. For businesses with complex multi-entity structures or large-scale LS Central retail environments, allow 6 to 8 weeks.
    What if my buyer does not have a Peppol ID yet? ▼
    If your buyer has not yet implemented e-invoicing and has no Peppol Participant Identifier, the Novasoft solution automatically uses the official transitional endpoint specified in the February 2026 UAE e-invoicing guidelines. Your team does not need to manage this manually — it is handled at the system level.
