In August 2023, the UAE Ministry of Finance revealed its intention to implement e-invoicing on a national scale. Over the course of 2024, the Ministry established July 2026 as the official date for the launch of e-invoicing in the UAE.
On August 1, 2024, the mandatory pre-clearance e-invoicing regime for B2B, B2C and B2G transactions started in Malaysia. Known as the "soft launch", taxpayers with a turnover of more than MYR100 million were the first to be subject to the new mandate.

In such an uneven environment, electronic invoicing is only gradually finding its place.
