UAE Tax Invoice Pack

A set of invoice layouts for VAT-registered businesses that want to produce clean, complete invoices without buying software. The Excel workbook holds three layouts that calculate line totals, VAT and the invoice total: a tax invoice, a simplified tax invoice and a tax credit note. Each layout checks that the details a tax invoice should carry are filled in, and warns when the invoice date is more than 14 days after the date of supply. A checklist sheet lists what the FTA expects on an invoice. A Word guide gives the same layouts as fill-in templates for people who prefer documents.

What is inside:

• Business Details sheet: type your name, address and TRN once
• Tax Invoice, Simplified Invoice and Tax Credit Note sheets with automatic VAT per line, tax codes for standard, zero rated and exempt lines, and a completeness check
• A Mandatory Fields Checklist sheet
• A Worked Example with a fictional invoice
• A Word guide with a checklist and fill-in templates A to C
• Print setup for A4

Who it is for: small VAT-registered businesses, freelancers and consultants who invoice from a spreadsheet or a Word file.

What it is not: it is a layout and calculation tool. It does not file anything, does not send anything to the FTA and does not make you e-invoicing ready. E-invoicing in the UAE is on the roadmap through accredited service providers, with dates that depend on your turnover: watch the Ministry of Finance announcements. The rules on simplified tax invoices changed with Cabinet Decision No. 100 of 2025, so check eligibility with the FTA before you use that layout. VAT is rounded per line, which can differ by a few fils from systems that round on the total. Which supplies are zero rated or exempt is for you and your accountant. Check with your accountant or the FTA for your case.

Requirements: Excel 2016 or later, Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc for the workbook; Word 2016 or later, Google Docs or LibreOffice Writer for the guide.
