The UAE Ministry of Finance announced changes to the e-invoicing penalty regime on Friday 30 October, Gulf News reported. The monthly fine for not implementing the system stays in place, but the total is now limited to Dh50,000 over any 12 consecutive months. The daily fine for not reporting an e-invoicing system failure has been removed.
According to the newspaper, the revised decision replaces Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025. It also ends double penalties: a person can face a single administrative penalty for a given violation, whether the business issues invoices, receives them or both.
The implementation timetable has not changed. Businesses in the first phase must start mandatory e-invoicing on 1 January 2027, and the second phase begins on 1 July 2027, Gulf News said.
