Webinar Recap: Decoding UAE’s E-Invoicing Mandate with Agentic AI and BINJOY Auditors
On 19 November 2025, Covoro UAE and BINJOY Auditors hosted an exclusive webinar, “Decoding UAE’s E-Invoicing Mandate: What the New Ministerial Decisions Mean for Your Business,” bringing together finance, tax, and compliance leaders preparing for the upcoming e-invoicing transition. The session was led by Rahul Dev Swarnkar, CRO at Covoro UAE and global compliance automation expert, along with CA Jaison Mandapathil, Manager, Compliance & Assurance at BINJOY Auditors, an FTA-approved tax agent.
1. Why e-invoicing is now a boardroom priority
The speakers first framed e-invoicing as a global phenomenon, with more than 75 countries rolling out mandates to curb fraud, close tax gaps, and improve real-time reporting. Governments are tightening regulations to reduce hundreds of billions in annual tax revenue losses, making structured, machine-readable invoicing the default standard across Europe, GCC, India, Malaysia, LATAM, and beyond.
2. UAE’s e-invoicing programme and who is impacted
The webinar then unpacked the UAE Ministry of Finance’s e-invoicing programme and its strategic objectives: modernizing the economy, maximizing federal revenue collection, reducing tax evasion, and enhancing ease of doing business. Participants gained clarity on how e-invoicing strengthens the UAE’s global competitiveness, boosts digitization, improves taxpayer experience, and raises overall compliance and efficiency levels.
3. Key timelines, exclusions, and obligations
A detailed walkthrough of the phased implementation timeline helped attendees see exactly when they need to act based on their revenue category and whether they fall under large businesses, other businesses, or government entities. The session also clarified current exclusions (such as B2C-only businesses, certain government and airline transactions, and VAT-exempt or zero-rated financial services) and highlighted issuer, recipient, and service provider obligations, including storage within the UAE and FTA notification rules in case of system failures.

The demo highlighted how the data is forwarded to Covoro's centralised data repository and then processed through an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tool in order to be reconciled and to enable EXIM analytics as well as the signing and managing of documents throughout the GCC, India, and Malaysia.
