Frequently Asked Questions

E-invoicing is the digital exchange of invoices in a machine-readable format like XML instead of PDFs or paper, which allows businesses to send automated, real-time tax reporting to government authorities like Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

The UAE FTA requires invoices in PINT-AE XML format, based on the Peppol BIS 3.0 standard with UAE-specific extensions.

Integration is simple through the Complyance Java SDK (with Python, JavaScript, and C++ support coming soon).
