Summary
The Ministry of Finance announced Cabinet Decision No. 173 of 2026, which replaces Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025 on e-invoicing violations. Issuers and recipients breaching implementation duties face AED 5,000 for the first breach and AED 5,000 for each further month, up to AED 50,000 in any 12 months; the fine for not reporting a system failure is dropped and only one penalty applies per violation.
What it means for you
UAE entities of Indian groups should complete e-invoicing readiness now, since continuing non-compliance builds up monthly fines.
