Dubai in context

The country's largest economic and business concentration. The highest chance that your business deals with several e-invoicing-obligated parties at once (suppliers, B2B customers, government entities).

Notable free zones

  • DMCC
  • JAFZA
  • DIFC
  • DAFZA
  • Dubai South
  • Dubai World Trade Centre

Free-zone businesses are not automatically exempt: any business issuing B2B or B2G invoices is in scope whether or not it sits in a free zone.

The deadlines and requirements above are federal, from the Ministry of Finance, and do not vary by emirate. Provider head-office data reflects what their official sites published at the time of writing.
