Is the readiness check free?

Yes. The check is free, takes about two minutes and needs no account. You see your result on screen. An e-mail address is only needed if you want the report sent to you.

Does a score of 100 mean my business is compliant?

No. The score measures how prepared you are against the main steps of the official rules. Compliance depends on how your invoices are actually issued and reported once your phase starts. For your specific case, check with an FTA-registered tax agent.

Which revenue figure should I use for the revenue question?

Use the gross income of your most recent accounting period, based on your financial statements. That is the definition in Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025. Where financial statements are not available, the FTA can accept other documentation.

Does the check apply to free zone companies?

Yes. Free zone businesses are in scope for B2B and B2G transactions, like mainland businesses, and so are businesses that are not registered for VAT. Answer the questions in the same way.

I only sell to consumers. Do I still need to act?

B2C transactions are excluded until the Minister decides otherwise, and no date has been announced. However, the MoF FAQ says a business that only sells to consumers may still need an accredited ASP to receive e-invoices from its suppliers.

If you only view your result, your contact details are not requested. If you ask for the e-mail report, Kenobiz Solutions, the publisher of this site, receives your answers and contact details and uses them as described in our privacy policy.

UAE E-Invoicing Readiness Check: Free 2-Minute Test

Answer nine questions about your business and see where you stand on UAE e-invoicing: your phase, your personal deadlines, a readiness score out of 100 and your three priority actions. It takes about two minutes, and an e-mail address is only needed if you want the report sent to you.

9 quick questions. No sign-up needed — your answers stay in your browser unless you ask for the report.

Question 1 of 9

What was your revenue in your last financial year?

What does the readiness check ask, and why?

The check asks nine questions that map to the official rules: your revenue sets your phase and deadlines, your customers set your scope, and your software, ASP status and customer data show how much work is left. Each answer feeds the score and the actions you get at the end.

#	Question	Why we ask
1	Revenue band	Revenue of AED 50 million or more means appointing an ASP by 30 October 2026 and going live on 1 January 2027. Below that, the dates are 31 March 2027 and 1 July 2027.
2	Customers: B2B, B2G or B2C	B2B and B2G transactions are in scope. B2C is excluded until the Minister decides otherwise.
3	Current invoicing tool	PDFs, Word and Excel files are not e-invoices. The tool you use today decides how big the change is.
4	Monthly invoice volume	Volume affects your exposure to late-invoice penalties (AED 100 each, up to AED 5,000 per month) and your ASP costs.
5	Does your software produce PINT AE e-invoices or connect to an accredited ASP?	E-invoices must be structured files in the PINT AE format, sent through an accredited service provider.
6	ASP status: signed, shortlisted or not started	Missing the ASP deadline can cost AED 5,000 for each month or part of a month of delay.
7	Is your B2B customer data complete (TRN/TIN, addresses)?	Each customer is identified by its TIN (the first 10 digits of its TRN), and an electronic tax invoice has 51 mandatory fields.
8	Needs beyond invoicing	Inventory, purchasing, CRM, payroll, several companies or e-commerce change which software makes sense.
9	Number of users	The number of people who use the system narrows the realistic software options.

If you are unsure whether your business is in scope at all, read who must comply with UAE e-invoicing first, or start with our UAE e-invoicing guide.

How is the score calculated?

The score out of 100 adds up five parts, weighted by how much work each one usually represents:

Part	Points
Software readiness (does it produce PINT AE e-invoices or connect to an accredited ASP?)	30
ASP appointment (signed, shortlisted or not started)	25
Customer master data (TRN/TIN and addresses complete)	20
Type of tool (ERP or accounting software, or spreadsheets and word processors)	15
Time left before your ASP deadline	10
Total	100

The score measures preparation, not legal compliance. A low score close to your deadline is a signal to act now; a high score means the remaining steps are mostly testing and training.

What do you get at the end?

Your phase and personal deadlines, based on Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025 as amended by Ministerial Decision No. 66 of 2026. The full calendar is in our UAE e-invoicing deadlines guide.
Your score out of 100, with the points for each part.
Three priority actions, for example signing with an ASP, completing customer TRNs or checking that your software can produce PINT AE files.
A software recommendation with the reasons, using the same neutral criteria as our e-invoicing software comparison:
- if you only need to invoice, Zoho Books or your current vendor, provided it is an accredited ASP or connects to one;
- if you need more than invoicing or expect to grow, Odoo, from a single freelancer to around 200 users;
- above that, a tier-1 ERP such as SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics 365.

This site is published by Kenobiz Solutions, an Odoo partner. The same criteria apply whichever product comes out, and our comparison method explains them. To compare three software options for your profile, use the software finder.

Is the e-mail report optional?

Yes. You can read your result on screen without giving any contact details. If you want a copy, enter your e-mail address and tick the consent box (it is never pre-ticked). Kenobiz then sends the report and contacts you only if you asked for it. You can unsubscribe at any time. Our privacy policy explains what we keep and for how long.

What should you do after the check?

If you have not appointed an ASP, start with the list of accredited service providers. Every accredited ASP must offer 100 free e-invoice exchange and reporting services per year for each customer; check that this is in your contract.
Estimate what delays could cost with the e-invoicing penalty calculator, and read how the UAE e-invoicing penalties work.
Follow the steps in our guide to implementing e-invoicing: data clean-up, software set-up, testing and training.
If your software needs to change, compare the options in our accounting and ERP software guides. Our other free compliance tools are listed on one page.
