UAE Moves towards Digital Taxation with E-Invoicing Initiative

Marking a major advancement in digital taxes, the UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) made the E-Invoicing Data Dictionary available for public review. In line with international best practices, this program seeks to improve business transaction compliance, efficiency, and transparency.

What Businesses Need to Know
