βͺοΈ Overseas storage of e-invoicing data permitted, subject to applicable record-retention requirements and accessibility for the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
βͺοΈ Two-business-day system-failure notification requirement removed, following the repeal of the relevant provisions.
π Important: The existing e-invoicing implementation deadlines remain unchanged.
Now is the time to review your systems, assess your readiness, and plan your compliance journey.
Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay compliant.
