UAE Tax Invoice Generator (Free)

Article 59 of the Executive Regulation of Federal Decree-Law 8/2017 (issued as Cabinet Decision 100/2024) requires 14 data points on a full tax invoice: the words 'Tax Invoice' clearly displayed, the supplier's name, address and Tax Registration Number (TRN), the recipient's name, address and TRN where they are a registered taxable person, a sequential invoice number that uniquely identifies the document, the date of issue and the date of supply where it differs from the date of issue, a description of the goods or services supplied, the unit price, quantity or volume, rate of VAT and amount payable expressed in AED per line, any discount offered, the gross amount payable in AED, the tax amount payable in AED with the exchange rate applied if a foreign currency is used, and a statement referencing reverse charge where it applies. A simplified tax invoice — used where the total does not exceed AED 10,000 — drops the recipient details and the date of supply, but still requires Tax Invoice, supplier details, sequential number, date of issue, description, total payable and the tax amount.

Yes. Article 59 sets out the data that must be present — it does not regulate the visual design. You can include your company logo, brand colours, custom typography, watermark, signature block, payment terms, bank details and any other commercial information you want, provided the 14 mandatory data points remain clearly visible and legible. Most accounting platforms (Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Tally, Sage) let you upload a logo and adjust the template — the generator above lets you preview the FTA-compliant layout before you replicate it inside your accounting system.

Tax invoices can be issued in English in the UAE — Arabic is not mandatory for most B2B transactions. However, the FTA may request an Arabic translation during an audit, and certain government-facing transactions or specific sector regulations (for example some Ministry of Health or DED procurement contracts) may require bilingual invoices. If your buyer requests Arabic, or you supply to a federal or emirate-level government entity, issue a bilingual invoice — most accounting platforms support a side-by-side Arabic/English layout. The numerical figures, TRN and the words 'Tax Invoice' should appear in both languages where bilingual format is used.

When the buyer is not a registered taxable person — typical for B2C sales, sales to small unregistered businesses, or sales to overseas customers — Article 59 requires a simplified tax invoice rather than a full one. You drop the buyer's name, address and TRN fields, but you still issue a sequential numbered document with your TRN, the supply description, the gross amount, and the VAT amount. The simplified format is also acceptable when the consideration for the supply does not exceed AED 10,000, regardless of whether the buyer is registered. Above AED 10,000 to a non-registered buyer, the full format still applies but the buyer TRN field is left blank or marked Not registered.

Yes. Article 59 permits electronic tax invoices as long as the recipient agrees to receive them electronically, the authenticity of origin can be verified, the integrity of the content is preserved, and the invoice is legible. A standard PDF generated by your accounting platform — or by the generator above and saved via your browser's print-to-PDF function — satisfies these conditions for current VAT-only invoicing. Note that the UAE is rolling out a structured e-invoicing regime in phases through 2026 and 2027, under which invoices will be transmitted through accredited service providers in a defined XML format. PDF invoices will remain acceptable until your business segment is brought into the e-invoicing mandate — once you are in scope, the structured e-invoice supersedes the PDF for VAT-reportable transactions. Velmont Crest provides e-invoicing readiness reviews ahead of the rollout.
