E-invoicing by emirate

E-invoicing in Sharjah

The mandate is federal and identical across the country — there is no legal difference between emirates in deadlines or requirements. This page sets out the local context for Sharjah specifically.

Pilot (voluntary)1 July 2026
Mandatory — large businesses (revenue ≥ AED 50m)1 January 2027

Scope of the mandateB2B and B2G only — B2C is currently excluded (Ministerial Decision 243/2025)

Context for Sharjah

A dense base of light manufacturing, trading and SMEs. Many businesses here still invoice on paper or PDF, which makes the change of habit — not the technology — the harder part of the transition.

Notable free zones

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