Issuing e-invoices
Companies need to register before they use e-invoices (with or without tax codes) to get approval from the tax authorities through the General Department of Taxation’s website.
Business and individuals selling goods or providing services need to issue an e-invoice (with or without tax codes) to the buyer in a standardized format prescribed by the tax authorities. They are required to provide all the necessary information, regardless of the invoice value.
