The Commercial Sales Invoice is a fundamental document in UAE business transactions, required under both VAT and commercial laws. It serves as official evidence of a sale and forms the basis for VAT reporting, accounting records, and payment obligations. This document must comply with Federal Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax and its Executive Regulations, as well as the UAE Commercial Transactions Law. A properly formatted Commercial Sales Invoice includes company details, tax registration numbers, transaction specifics, VAT calculations, and payment terms. It is essential for businesses operating in the UAE as it supports tax compliance, facilitates payment collection, and provides legal protection in case of disputes. The document is particularly crucial since the implementation of VAT in the UAE in 2018, requiring specific information to support tax reporting and audits.
