Can MyBooks appoint the e-invoicing provider (ASP) for us?

No. The ASP is selected and authorised in EmaraTax under your own login or your legal representative’s, and you accept the provider’s terms yourself. MyBooks sets up your accounting system and guides you through these steps. General information, not legal advice.

UAE e-invoicing in brief

General information, not legal or tax advice.

UAE e-invoicing uses the Peppol network: invoices are exchanged through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP).
Your accounting system sends invoices through the provider, so it has to support UAE e-invoicing. We check this and set it up.
