ASP – Accredited Service Provider

An Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is an entity authorised to help businesses connect to and operate within the UAE's electronic invoicing framework. As the UAE moves towards mandatory e-invoicing, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and Ministry of Finance are introducing a model in which invoices are exchanged digitally through a network of accredited providers, rather than as simple PDFs or paper documents. Working with an ASP-aligned partner ensures your invoices are created, validated and transmitted in the required structured format.

For UAE businesses, this matters because e-invoicing is becoming central to tax compliance. Companies that prepare early can integrate the change smoothly into their accounting and ERP systems, avoid last-minute disruption and reduce the risk of rejected invoices or compliance gaps once the rules take full effect.

What's Included

Our ASP – Accredited Service Provider support helps you become e-invoicing ready and stay compliant as the framework rolls out. The service typically covers:

• Readiness assessment — reviewing your current invoicing, accounting and ERP setup against UAE e-invoicing requirements.
• Solution guidance — helping you select and connect to an accredited service provider or compliant e-invoicing platform suited to your business.
• Data and format alignment — ensuring your invoice data captures the mandatory fields and follows the structured format expected under the framework.
• System integration support — coordinating between your finance system, ERP and the chosen ASP so invoices flow through correctly.
• Testing and validation — checking that invoices are generated, validated and transmitted without errors before go-live.
• Ongoing compliance support — keeping your process aligned with FTA guidance and VAT requirements as the rules develop.
