Manual invoices vs. invoice software

Manual Invoices

Unlike automated invoices, the manual one may involve more steps to issue, and for customers to complete payments. It involves manual entry of customer calculation and sale information. Plus, it needs to be tracked and monitored manually. 

Requires manual follow-up for payment reminders and past-due payment notifications, which might eventually end up with late payments, leading to cash flow problems. With QuickBooks invoicing software you can avoid this potential hassle, and also keep track of your VAT in the UAE.

Invoices Requirements in the UAE

Just like in every other part of the world, it is important to follow the right format for invoicing your clients in the UAE. As per the law in UAE, when a taxable supply of services or goods surpasses more than 10,000 Emirati Dirham (AED). To avoid any inconvenience, you must format your invoice according to the instructions issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in UAE. 

For local currency invoices, simply mention:

• The exact date of the invoice
• The invoice number
• The contents or services supplied
• Address of the company or individual you are billing
• The Tax Registration Number (TRN)
• The net amount
• The payable tax in AED. 

For clients in foreign countries, you must mention the payable tax in AED. Also, the exchange rate applied on it should be the latest issued by the UAE's Central Bank on the date of invoice.
