Mandate intelligence, written by the people building for it.
Practical guides we maintain for partners on the markets we build for. When regulation moves, these pages move with it.
Every mandate, end to end.
Five markets, one view: the model each country chose, the milestones already behind it, and the dates still ahead — kept in sync with the full country guides as regulation moves.
Legal framework published Done
Ministerial Decisions 243 & 244 of 2025 establish the system and timeline; Cabinet Decision 106 of 2025 sets the penalties.
ASP accreditation Open
Service providers accredit with the FTA under MD 64/2025 Art. 16 — ERP integration capability is a core criterion. The MoF publishes the approved-provider list.
Pilot underway Underway
Selected businesses in the Taxpayer Working Group began exchanging live e-invoices ahead of the mandate.
Phase 1 ASP appointment deadline Critical
Businesses with revenue ≥ AED 50M must have appointed their Accredited Service Provider — extended from 31 July 2026 by a May 2026 amendment to MD 244/2025.
Phase 1 go-live — revenue ≥ AED 50M Scheduled
Mandatory issuance and receipt of PINT AE e-invoices for large businesses. Penalties under Cabinet Decision 106/2025 become enforceable.
Phase 2 go-live — all remaining businesses Scheduled
Businesses below AED 50M revenue (ASP appointed by 31 March 2027). Applies regardless of VAT registration status.
Government entities go live Scheduled
B2G flows complete the rollout.
What this means: the pilot is running and the clock points at 30 October — Phase 1 businesses must appoint their ASP before penalties become enforceable in January 2027.
Full UAE guide→Phase 1 — turnover above RM100M Done
Malaysia's largest taxpayers begin mandatory e-invoicing through MyInvois, with a 6-month relaxation period allowing consolidated invoices.
Phase 2 — RM25M to RM100M Done
Mid-large businesses join the mandate, again with a 6-month consolidated-invoice relaxation.
Phase 3 — RM5M to RM25M Done
The mid-market comes in scope, bringing tens of thousands of businesses onto MyInvois clearance.
Exemption threshold raised to RM1M Done
Cabinet approves raising the exemption threshold to RM1M annual turnover — eliminating the previously planned 1 July 2026 final phase for micro-businesses.
Final phase — turnover up to RM5M Done
The long tail of SMEs goes live. From the same date, transactions above RM10,000 require an individual e-invoice — no more consolidation for them.
Scale confirmed Live
IRB reports more than 200,000 taxpayers using e-invoicing and over 1 billion transactions recorded through MyInvois.
What this means: this is daily operations now — every in-scope invoice clears MyInvois for a UIN, and the SME onboarding backlog is where service providers compete.
Full Malaysia guide→Law adopted Done
The Belgian VAT Code is amended to mandate structured B2B e-invoicing, building on the established B2G Peppol infrastructure (Mercurius).
Final guidance published Done
FPS Finance publishes its FAQ and clarifications — including the exclusion of non-established foreign VAT registrants.
B2B mandate live Done
Structured e-invoices become mandatory for domestic B2B between Belgian-established VAT taxpayers — Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 by default.
Tolerance period Ended
No sanctions for taxpayers able to demonstrate reasonable, timely compliance efforts.
Full enforcement In force
Graduated fines of €1,500 / €3,000 / €5,000 per offence apply, and non-compliant invoices can jeopardize the buyer's VAT deduction.
Near-real-time e-reporting Planned
Belgium plans a 5-corner e-reporting layer replacing the annual client listing — moving toward the CTC pattern already live in the Gulf.
What this means: steady state — the mandate is enforced, and the long tail of Belgian SMEs still onboarding is where Access Points win or lose.
Full Belgium guide→OTA becomes a Peppol Authority Done
Oman confirms adoption of the Peppol framework for Fawtara, joining the decentralized CTC pattern established by the UAE.
Sandbox & developer environment Done
Technical sandbox opens for service providers and solution vendors to begin integration work.
Service-provider accreditation opens Open
Access Point / service-provider accreditation with the OTA as the local Peppol Authority. The registration window is live now.
Phase 1 pilot — 100 largest VAT taxpayers Next up
The pilot cohort begins exchanging e-invoices through accredited providers. Pilot relationships here define the early market.
Phase 2 — all large VAT payers Indicative
Expansion to all large VAT-registered businesses, per OTA roadmap coverage. Date indicative, not final regulation.
Phase 3 — all VAT-registered businesses Indicative
Remaining VAT-registered taxpayers join, with full rollout broadly expected by 2028.
What this means: accreditation is open now and the pilot starts in weeks — the providers attached to the first 100 taxpayers define the early market.
Full Oman guide→Draft law approved Done
The Council of Ministers approves the draft e-invoicing law and its implementing regulations, covering B2B, B2G and B2C transactions.
Shura Council review & enactment In progress
The draft proceeds through the Shura Council before enactment by the Amir. Substance can still change in this stage.
Executive regulations & technical specifications Expected
Format, exchange framework, accreditation rules and penalty schedules are expected here — this is when the engineering picture becomes concrete.
Phased go-live Industry estimate
Industry estimates point to a phased start around 2027, large enterprises first. No official date exists — treat anything more specific with suspicion.
What this means: nothing is binding yet — the only confirmed fact is the 6 May 2026 draft approval, so treat every published timeline as an estimate.
Full Qatar guide→Deep dives, written by the builders.
Six deep dives across five markets — accreditation, formats, enforcement, and the regional pattern behind them.
UAE ASP accreditation, explained
What MD 64/2025 accreditation involves, where the ASP sits in the 5-corner model, and why ERP integration capability is the hardest box to tick.
EngineeringPINT AE vs PINT MY vs BIS 3.0
Same UBL bones, different business rules. An engineering comparison of the three profiles we ship today — and the architecture argument they add up to.

Confirmed: sandbox, accreditation, an August 2026 pilot with the 100 largest VAT payers. Indicative: the 2027 phases. The honest breakdown.
