UAE MoF accredited service provider list reaches 49, with 8 more in final assessment

The Ministry of Finance's published eInvoicing Accredited Service Provider register stood at 49 fully accredited ASPs plus 8 pre-approved providers in final production assessment when last refreshed on 2 September 2026 — up from 32 accredited in mid-July. The register is maintained under Article 16 of Ministerial Decision No. 64 of 2025 and is updated continuously as providers clear assessment. Taxpayers with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an accredited ASP by 30 October 2026 ahead of the 1 January 2027 go-live; businesses below that threshold have until 31 March 2027, with mandatory issuance from 1 July 2027. Appointment is made through EmaraTax. With roughly eight weeks left before the large-taxpayer deadline, ASP capacity — not accreditation supply — is now the constraint.

Amendments to Ministerial Decision No. 64 of 2025 introduce a white-label mechanism permitting UAE-based companies to partner with international technology providers — facilitating knowledge transfer, strengthening national digital capabilities, and aligning solutions with UAE market requirements. Combined with the 30 October 2026 ASP appointment deadline extension, businesses now have broader technical options and more competitive pricing.
