EmaraTax onboarding

EmaraTax onboarding connects your account in the Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line (PEPPOL) to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) electronic invoicing network.

About EmaraTax onboarding

Before you can send invoices, Sovos must register you in the PEPPOL network and link your account to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) e-invoicing system through EmaraTax, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal.

This onboarding guide helps you to create your PEPPOL Participant ID and assigns you the UAE products.

Onboarding requires input from both you and Sovos. The following steps describe the full sequence.
