UAE Federal Tax Authority
Peppol PINT AE.
The UAE is rolling out a nationwide e-invoicing mandate through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), using the Peppol PINT AE framework. ClayDesk implements UAE e-invoicing on Peppol-certified infrastructure through our sister company GoRoute.ai.
What UAE enterprises need to know.
The UAE FTA e-invoicing mandate introduces structured digital invoicing for B2B and B2G transactions. The framework is built on the international Peppol standard, adapted for UAE requirements as Peppol PINT AE.
The mandate requires UAE-registered businesses to issue and receive invoices through Peppol-certified Access Points. Invoices must be structured as UBL or CII XML, comply with the PINT AE data model, and be routed through the Peppol network to the FTA's Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
ClayDesk's sister company, GoRoute.ai, is a Peppol-certified Access Point (POP000991). This means ClayDesk clients connect to the Peppol network through certified infrastructure — without needing to source a separate Access Point.
Key requirements
- Structured invoice format: UBL 2.1 or UN/CEFACT CII
- Peppol PINT AE data model compliance
- Routing through a Peppol-certified UAE Access Point
- Registration on the FTA's Invoice Registration Portal
- Retention of e-invoices as specified by the FTA

How ClayDesk implements UAE e-invoicing.
FTA IRP registration and Peppol onboarding
We handle FTA Invoice Registration Portal setup, Peppol network registration, and GoRoute.ai Access Point connection. You are active on the network before implementation work begins.
ERP integration for PINT AE structured data
Invoice data from SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Zoho, Odoo, or Tally is mapped to the PINT AE data model and routed to the Peppol network. Integration is built on your ERP, not a middleware SaaS platform.
Supplier and buyer connectivity
We configure both send and receive flows. Your suppliers can send Peppol-compliant invoices to you; your customers receive invoices through the network. Buyer connectivity is often overlooked and is critical for mandate compliance.
Ongoing mandate monitoring
UAE FTA continues to issue guidance as the mandate rolls out. We monitor FTA announcements and update your implementation for each wave and requirement change.
