The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) is moving towards mandatory e-invoicing for B2B and B2G transactions. For workshops and garages that issue tax invoices, this will mean integrating with the FTA’s system (e.g. PINT-AE) and following specific technical and format requirements.
Why it matters for workshops
Today, many workshops issue PDF or paper invoices. E-invoicing will require invoices to be generated and reported in a way the FTA can validate. That means your workshop software must be able to produce compliant e-invoices and, where required, submit them to the designated platform.
What to look for in software
When choosing or updating workshop software, look for live UAE e-invoicing: correct invoice format, FTA gateway connection where applicable, and ongoing updates as rules evolve. GRX includes UAE e-invoicing (B2B/B2G) today, so you can stay compliant without switching systems.
Getting ready now
You don’t need to panic, but you do need to plan. Moving to a single, digital system for quotations and invoices—like GRX—puts jobs, VAT invoices, and included e-invoicing in one place. Clean data and consistent invoicing make compliance and audits easier.
