FTA-compliant tax invoices with your TRN, VAT at 5%, a head start on e-invoicing, and fast payment options. All on one flat plan.
UAE invoicing means FTA-compliant tax invoices that carry your TRN and 5% VAT, and, with e-invoicing being introduced, keeping your invoices as clean structured data. Billbooks handles the compliance so you get paid without the paperwork.
VAT at 5%, done right
Billbooks applies 5% VAT and shows it in dirhams on a full, FTA-compliant tax invoice.
Your TRN on every invoice
Your Tax Registration Number appears on each tax invoice, so clients can recover input VAT and your invoices stay valid.
A head start on e-invoicing
Your invoices are kept as clean, structured data, which makes moving to the UAE e-invoicing mandate simpler when it applies to you.
VAT in the UAE is 5% on most goods and services, with some supplies zero-rated or exempt. You must register for VAT once your taxable supplies pass AED 375,000, and voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500. A valid tax invoice must carry the words "Tax Invoice", your TRN, and the VAT shown in dirhams. The UAE is also introducing mandatory e-invoicing in phases from 2026, with large businesses expected to move first, so keeping invoices as structured data now makes that transition easier. Billbooks puts your TRN and the correct VAT on every invoice.
The Federal Tax Authority requires a full tax invoice to carry these details. Billbooks includes them on every invoice.
Unlimited invoices on a simple, flat plan, with a 30-day free trial.
A plan built for high-volume transactions or business models that do not fit the mold.

A TRN is the Tax Registration Number issued by the Federal Tax Authority. A valid UAE tax invoice must display it. Without the TRN the customer cannot recover the VAT, which usually means the invoice is returned rather than paid.
