DP World has launched a UAE e-invoicing solution after being selected by the UAE Ministry of Finance as a pre-approved service provider to help businesses prepare for the upcoming mandatory e-invoicing framework as part of the country’s broader tax digitisation efforts.
The selection comes at a critical stage in the UAE’s national e-invoicing rollout, with the pilot phase scheduled to begin on 1 July 2026. Businesses with revenues exceeding AED 50 million will be required to appoint an accredited service provider by 30 October 2026, ahead of the mandatory nationwide implementation in January 2027.
As the UAE advances toward a digitised trade and tax ecosystem, e-invoicing is becoming a foundational layer of commercial compliance and transaction visibility. DP World’s solution enables businesses to integrate e-invoicing compliance directly into their operational and financial workflows, reducing manual processes while improving speed, accuracy and traceability across transactions.
The solution will help businesses improve invoice processing cycles, strengthen reconciliation between shipments and payments and enhance end-to-end visibility across cross-border trade operations. For companies operating in complex supply chains, this translates into more predictable cash flow and more efficient trade execution.
Dr. Mohamed AbuHamra, COO – Digital Technology, DP World GCC said: “Our role is to help customers adapt to this regulatory shift without disruption by embedding compliance into the systems they already use. For businesses, that means faster settlement cycles, fewer reconciliation gaps and better visibility across every transaction in their supply chain.”
The infrastructure is fully hosted by DP World in the UAE, ensuring that invoice data and sensitive financial information remain stored and processed in-country in line with national data sovereignty requirements.
DP World is currently onboarding customers and supporting businesses with early implementation planning to ensure a smooth transition ahead of regulatory deadlines.
By integrating e-invoicing into existing trade, logistics and financial platforms, businesses can manage documentation, customs and financial reconciliation within a single, integrated workflow. This alignment supports faster, more transparent trade operations across the UAE and strengthens connectivity across regional and global supply chains.
